UCI Port Security Specialist

 

September 11, 2001 (9/11), changed the focus of public safety forever. Just watching the news you can see the growing threat to our safety and way of life. UCI is committed in providing those responsible for our maritime safety and security with the right tools to respond and protect those we serve. As divers, our capabilities and services must  now meet the growing challenges and threats to our security as well as continue to handle our preexisting missions. Aquatically, our responsibilities must expand from providing rescue and recovery operations to a broader, proactive approach in prevention, responding to and recovery from a wider range of aquatic possibilities.
