Course Description

This course is designed to aid participants in developing critical thinking skills at the time of a small vessel security incident, develop community partnerships with other government and non-governmental agencies that will be necessary to respond to a small vessel incident, and promote regional intelligence-gathering to keep abreast of current threats in this area, particularly through area maritime security committees (AMSC).
