Working collaboratively as one for better outcomes:

PREVENT - PROTECT - PREPARE - PURSUE

Port Security Management Systems

Collaboratively, we have engaged in a process of learning, responding, training, and evaluating to ensure that both our organizations and others are equipped with the necessary knowledge and skills. An exemplary illustration of this is incident review. Initially addressing communication challenges during active shooter events, our focus expanded to encompass incident reviews involving active shooters, terrorism, and other severe crimes. From these reviews emerged not only valuable insights but also a set of best practices.

Over a span of five years, we consistently convened in forums or conducted on-site evaluations of various scenarios. Our approach always included visiting the site shortly after an incident or receiving briefings from individuals directly involved. Unfortunately, due to the constraints imposed by COVID-19, these forums were temporarily suspended.

Our efforts, however, are set on a committed joint international alliance and resuming this process in the upcoming year. Our intention is to review additional incidents and revisit the outcomes of our reviews, particularly our Community Security Best Practice Guide. Through this ongoing process, we strive to enhance our preparedness and response capabilities continually.

Elevating What Has Worked to a Whole New Level: ICSR Committees
