Port Security
Security is top priority at St. Bernard Port. Working closely with the Department of Homeland Security, U.S. Coast Guard, Customs, Border Patrol, and many other national, state and local agencies, security at the Port has improved dramatically since 9/11.

Over the past 8 years, a significantly increased budget has allowed the Port to add more highly trained and experienced personnel to its security staff. The increased budget has also facilitated improvements in access control and credentialing. Electronic surveillance cameras, motion detectors and lighting have been upgraded and perimeter fencing has also increased.

Security at the Port has never been better, but it does not stop there. The hard working men and women responsible for security at the St. Bernard Port are constantly evaluating new technology and procedures in an ongoing effort to prevent acts of terrorism in the future.
