The Secretary has been a visible leader in international transportation security for over 20 years. Over the course of his last 13 years as Secretary, he has traveled the world working with police and government officials in cooperation with various security, supply chain, intelligence, and related initiatives. Incident management outcomes in mass people environments have been a particular focus. This has strengthened best practices and spotlighted how to enhance communication requirements moving from operational to crisis management situations. Some of the most recent focus has been on cyber security, bringing practical solutions from the essentials of community cybersecurity to community preparedness. Our staff has been crisscrossing the globe, working on aviation, maritime, and border security issues with jurisdictions and education programs including our extensive work with NATO - CJOS COE and UN agencies and programmes.
After 9/11, he served as Director of the U.S. Port Security Council, coordinating security legislative requirements and securing billions in grant funding for security and operational projects for the U.S. port authorities in the aftermath. His work with port authorities and governments primarily focused on security and law enforcement projects, intelligence, and other operational issues such as incident management, pilot programs, and security evaluations. After working with the U.S. ports, the Secretary's focus became global when he was appointed Director and Secretary General of the INTERPORTPOLICE in September 2010. This has led to extensive worldwide authority work, including AU, EU, UK, and US airports, seaports, and border police departments, as well as with other UN countries, to find cooperation, training, and security programs as a key objective. A key accomplishment is the Community Security Best Practice, a multi-national - authority best practice focused on mass aviation and maritime public safety and critical infrastructure prevention, protection, and preparedness.
At the time prior to the standing up of the U.S. Department of Homeland Security and when in its infancy; projects included federal legislative and funding issues, port security grants, Port credentialing (TWIC), aviation screening systems, Custom Trade Partnership Against Terrorism (CT-PAT), and the Security Border Initiative (SBI) unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) program on the Arizona border, a $10 billion border security initiative integrator selection. During this period, he was an advisor to Undersecretary Asa Hutchinson at DHS – Border & Transportation Security.
