8. Examples of Partnerships

9. INL’s Seaport Partnership with PortMiami On August 28, 2013, INL and PortMiamiinitiated a partnership that will allow INL to take advantage of PortMiami’s expertise to strengthen maritime security globally. The utilization of this partnership will increase our ability to stop criminal networks from moving illicit goods through ports. PortMiami • Why Ports? To assist INL’s mandate of combating transnational crime and drug trafficking organizations seaports are a valuable partner in that fight.

10. PortMiami and the Caribbean • Old Caribbean routes and networks from the 1980s are looking attractive again given efforts elsewhere in the region • Majority of drug trafficking done on the water (go-fasts, pleasure vessels, commercial vessels) • Miami is one of the most important U.S. ports for Latin American/ Caribbean imports/exports and has the knowledge base to handle requests from the region • PortMiami handles more cruise ship traffic than any other port worldwide and has vast experience in the special issues that arise with that type of traffic • Why use PortMiami in the Caribbean?

11. Utilizing the PortMiami Partnership • In February 2014, PortMiami assisted with addressing vulnerabilities identified in Trinidad & Tobago and The Bahamas • 25 Port Officials from these countries spent a week reviewing security operations at PortMiami on a variety of topics such as: • Cruise Ship Terminal Security • Auto Theft • Multi-Agency Strike Force Operations • Harbor Patrol • Cargo Operations

12. We are looking to expand our roster of domestic seaport partners • All ports have skill sets and capabilities that may be of use to INL and the Department of State • New areas of interest are identified by countries and regions and we are looking for seaport partners that will be able to address those areas • Mutual benefits to both the participating seaport and the Department of State and INL

13. Entirely Voluntary: The decision to be involved is up to you Cost Neutral: The State Department covers the salary, travel, and training costs Relevant: INL/CAP works to match seaports to countries particularly relevant to state or local interests so that expertise and cultural connections are established. Orientation: Partner agencies will receive training and an overview of the mission prior to the engagement. Recognition: INL will work to highlight the partner’s work. Career Development: Participants may have the opportunity to travel/interact with foreign counterparts. A Mutually Beneficial Partnership

14. These partnerships, and financial arrangements take many forms, including: • Memorandum of Understanding • (establishes basis for cooperation) • Intergovernmental Personnel Act Arrangements (temporarily details employees to the State Department) • Invitational Travel • (we reimburse for travel expenses for short-term assignments) • Interagency Agreements • (for federal partners) How Does This Work?
