IDGA’s Offshore Patrol Vessels (OPV) Summit will explore the needs of the current USCG and CBP Air & Marine fleets and the upgrades necessary to support missions. I am presenting on OPV Concept Solutions for Emerging Asymmetric Threats. My perspective is about addressing in-port and local waterways threats. I am researching vessel/technology solutions that address risks to inland ports and waterways (e.g., river ports, infrastructure, barges, etc.). I will also discuss experiences negotiating and planning for marine patrol protection of port assets and integrating complementing port security solutions (e.g., radar-video surveillance, CCTV, human resources, etc.).
I teach Criminal Justice at Park University in Parkville, MO. My professional experience includes 28 years in law enforcement, primarily with the Miami-Dade (Florida) Police Department. From 1996-2006, I managed police and security services at the Port of Miami, retiring as Chief of Seaport Security Enforcement. My research focuses on convergence of physical, human, and technology resources in managing port and maritime security. Your participation and comments are welcome.
