| Message from the Chief |
"Welcome to the Port Police & Security Department. We are proud to provide the maritime commerce community with security and law enforcement services that are focused on stopping or limiting the effects of terrorism. Our department provides a layered security structure that involves, among other things, intelligent video analytics, physical security barrier systems, sophisticated and interoperable radio communications systems, and a TWIC- based access control system. Our sworn law enforcement, and unsworn security officers and Surveillance analyst/dispatchers provide community-oriented police and security services, while affording the Port area a formidable Homeland Security support structure both on land and on water. We enjoy an excellent working relationship with our local, state, and federal partners in law enforcement. The links on this page provide contact information as well as information relating to TWIC requirements to access our facilities. "

Documentation required when enrolling for a TWIC
|
 The Transportation Worker Identification Credential (TWIC) program is a Transportation Security Administration and U.S. Coast Guard initiative. The TWIC program provides a tamper-resistant biometric credential to maritime workers requiring unescorted access to secure areas of port facilities. As I am sure you are aware, the TWIC is an upcoming requirement for all persons who require unescorted access to Port of Corpus Christi secure and restricted areas. As part of the required enrollment process, all applicants will be required to provide biographical information, fingerprints, and have a photo taken. The TWIC applicant will then be notified by email or phone if they have met the qualifications to receive a card. If so, they must then go to the Contractor Safety Council enrollment center at 7433 Leopard Street to pick up the TWIC. A biometric verification is made at that time. The applicant selects a PIN, the credential is activated and is valid for 5 years.
|
All persons needing to obtain a TWIC are highly encouraged to pre-enroll.
Pre-enrollment can by done through the TWIC web site,
