×Maritime Safety & Security
Seafaring vessels face an array of threats, from piracy to vandalism, theft to terrorism. By bringing together career experts in maritime operations with those in executive and head of state protection, the Command maritime safety and security team offers a complete package of advisory services crafted for any vessel operating on the high seas. Advisory services for maritime customers include vessel security assessments, development of operational security plans, crew screening and training, surveillance system design, citadel room architecture, deterrent equipment specification, and capacity building for prevailing force situations.

×Mass Transit
Mass transit systems facilitate the travel of millions of people every day; unfortunately, they also have been targeted by malicious groups and individuals and can be highly vulnerable to the effects of natural and other disasters. Ensuring public safety and security on these systems is a complex undertaking involving a consortium of emergency response, law enforcement, and public safety organizations. Not only must these disparate groups identify common mission goals and develop effective interagency operational capabilities, but they also must utilize specialized skills and highly trained units that are equipped to deal with the unique challenges that mass transit systems pose – such as management of crowds and conducting operations in a subterranean or elevated environment. We advise transit leaders on these crucial topics and help them strengthen their public safety and security capacity through innovative programs and exacting solutions.

×Port Security
In the United States, over 2 billion tons of domestic and international cargo moves through ports and associated waterways every year – and nearly 4 billion dollars’ worth every day. These numbers speak to the necessity of securing this key component of national and global critical infrastructure. Yet protecting against and preparing for transnational and domestic threats, both manmade and natural, is no easy task. Command’s renowned experts, leveraging their deep experience in key port security agencies like US Customs and Border Protection and the US Coast Guard, and as security directors at major ports, such as the Port of Long Beach, help clients achieve results with the guidance that only Command’s unmatched team can provide.

×Aviation
Passenger and baggage screening technologies, airport infrastructure and design, security personnel training, information sharing and data processing systems, concepts of operation design, security policies and procedures development, legal and regulatory compliance – these are but a few of the considerations that impact aviation security around the world every day. From their time in leadership at the Federal Aviation Administration, Transportation Security Administration, and Department of Homeland Security, the members of the aviation security team not only have deep knowledge of – but indeed helped to develop in the first place – many of the best practices, systematic approaches, and regulatory systems that guide aviation security worldwide today. Command leverages that experience to deliver leading edge, innovative solutions to airports and aviation authorities worldwide, and works intimately with industry to assist in developing innovative products and services which are of greatest value in the aviation security marketplace.
The global nature of transportation and port security was transformed in the aftermath of September 11, 2001. Command’s team was and continues to be at the forefront of changes in this realm. Our experts understand the challenges of surface, aviation, maritime, and intermodal security environments and help clients across the government and private spheres solve their most pressing organizational, technological, and operational problems.
