NASBLA Competes in AST Homeland Security Awards

U . S . Immigration and Customs Enforcement ( ICE ) is the largest investigative arm of the Department of Homeland Security . ICE is a 21st century law enforcement agency with broad responsibilities for a number of key homeland security priorities . For more information , visit : www . ICE . gov . To report suspicious activity , call 1-866-347-2423 .
The NASBLA BOAT Program is innovative in that it worked around the insurmountable financial and logistical impossibilities of expanding the U . S . Coast Guard to meet the mission , and instead created a model to train federal , tribal , state , county and local maritime responders to a single standard
and make use of assets already in place .
The National Association of State Boating Law Administrators ( NASBLA ) Boat Operations and Training ( BOAT ) Program trains local , county , tribal and state maritime responders in skills the United States Coast Guard can quantify and catalog , so when a major catastrophe emerges , marine agents at all levels will react in a coordinated , practiced manner , using the same tactics , procedures and language .
