This Project Grant supports maritime security infrastructure and operations in Jefferson City, Missouri, enabling the awardee to enhance port and waterway security capabilities through planning, operations, equipment, training, and exercises (POETE) activities consistent with the program's comprehensive security framework.
The Port Security Grant Program provides federal funding to state and local maritime partners to strengthen transportation infrastructure security and protect critical surface transportation infrastructure from terrorist attacks, major disasters, and other emergencies. As a state government entity with established expertise in law enforcement and criminal justice information services, the Missouri State Highway Patrol will utilize this funding to advance maritime domain awareness and risk management capabilities within the state's jurisdiction during the 36-month performance period.
