Canadian Maritime Security: From the Navy on Patrol to the Police on the Beat

摘要

When we approach any port authority property on land we are confronted with steel fencing or some other security perimeter until we reach the gates that permit access. These gates are guarded 24/7, either manually or electronically and dock access is controlled. Private firms provide security within strict legal limits on dock premises. These precautions provide security on and around port property. Managing security at dockside and along the rest of the Canadian shoreline in our post 9/11 world is being recognised as equally important in protecting Canadian interests.
