Port Security personnel complete training in Cargo Security.
Customs officers as well as police and port security personnel completed a one week workshop last Friday, June 10th on national cargo security.
The training was funded by the United States Department of Homeland Security and the Organization of American States.
Benoit Bardouille is CEO of the Dominica Air and Sea Ports Authority.
“We think that retraining and retooling our officers is key We also believe that given the exposure which they’ve gotten this week to several aspects of air cargo security, their resolve will be strengthened to ensure that Dominica complies with the International Civil Aviation Organization standards and recommended practises.”
Bert Williams represented the US Transportation Security Administration at last week’s closing ceremony.
“As we know, we are not in this fight alone. We can’t do it alone; it has to be a collective effort if we have to fight terrorism in aviation and transportation,” she said.
