Scrutiny of the materials flowing through ports along the vast coastlines of the United States has been a priority since the terrorist attacks of 2001. In response, regulatory measures from the Department of Homeland Security detail security requirements for cargo coming into and leaving U.S. shores.
A thorough knowledge of the applicable regulations and how they must be implemented is the baseline requirement of professional security officers charged with protecting ports. At the same time, officers must protect a company’s product to ensure no tampering occurs on the way to its intended destination. SEVEN’s officers have been trained to meet local, state, and federal cargo security standards and fully understand their responsibilities when protecting the various types of cargo that move through ports by land, sea, and rail.
