The grant, which runs from September 1, 2024 to August 31, 2027, will support MDSP's efforts to enhance maritime security and protect critical transportation infrastructure in Maryland from potential terrorist attacks, major disasters, and other emergencies. Typical funded projects under the Port Security Grant Program include procurement of patrol vessels, communications equipment, surveillance systems, cybersecurity upgrades, maritime security training, exercises, personnel hiring, and security plan development. This award to MDSP, a state law enforcement agency, demonstrates the program's focus on strengthening capabilities across state, local, tribal, and private sector maritime partners to improve port-wide risk management.
