Harbor Police Department
Port of New Orleans



 


DUTIES AND FUNCTIONS OF THE HARBOR POLICE CRUISE SHIP TERMINAL/HOME LAND SECURITY DIVISION
 

 
 

         As of our last re-organization the Specialized Patrol Division was renamed to Homeland Security Personnel. The primary function of the assigned members is providing police services at the cruise terminals. When members of Homeland Security Personnel are not working the terminals they are assigned to patrol the CHT and monitor entry into the Port. In addition to the Clarence Henry Truck way (CHT), Homeland Security Personnel also patrol the Port Of New Orleans Roadway, enforcing the Board's Traffic Ordinances and remaining a highly visible crime deterrent for that area. When on patrol the Homeland Security Personnel members routinely respond as backup to the Patrol Division Officers on traffic and felony stops. In addition to providing the listed police services, Homeland Security Personnel members also perform any necessary quartermaster function.
