The Response Department enforces U.S.
laws and regulations, ensures the security of our ports, waterways and
maritime
critical infrastructure and key assets and promotes boating safety
through patrols
on land and water. The response Department also participates actively in the
America’s
Waterway Watch Program and the Southwest Louisiana Mutual Aid
Association.
They also coordinate with federal, state and local law
enforcement partners in the area to implement joint patrol schedules
and to
conduct joint maritime law enforcement training and multi-agency
maritime law
enforcement surge operations along the maritime transportation system
in Southwest Louisiana. Active partnerships with our law
enforcement stakeholders allow for increased visibility throughout our
area of
responsibility and improve the overall effectiveness of the
participating
agencies.
