Port security grant program

The County of Mackinac Sheriff's Office in Saint-Ignace, Michigan was awarded a $645,000 project grant from the Federal Emergency Management Agency on September 16, 2022 under the Port Security Grant Program (PSGP, CFDA 97.056).

The PSGP aims to support transportation infrastructure security activities to protect critical port infrastructure from terrorism. The grant will fund services and products delivered by the County of Mackinac Sheriff's Office to enhance security at the Port of Saint Ignace, including potentially improving access controls, surveillance systems, radiation monitors or other security equipment. As the parent organization, the County of Mackinac Clerk's Office will oversee grant administration and compliance on behalf of the Sheriff's Office. The award aligns with the PSGP's goal of strengthening nation's port security through funding for training, exercises, personnel, equipment and other security enhancements.
