TWIC Escorts

The Port of Baltimore is an important part of the American economy, ranking as one of the busiest ports on the East Coast. It serves as a vital hub for international trade, handling countless tons of cargo annually. Ensuring the security of this critical infrastructure is essential, and that’s where the Transportation Worker Identification Credential (TWIC) program comes in.

Operational Police Protective Services understands the complexities of port operations and the ever-present need for security. We are a leading provider of TWIC escort services at the Port of Baltimore. Our team of highly trained professionals ensures the safe, efficient, and compliant movement of personnel and cargo throughout the port facility.

The Maryland Port Administration (MPA) Terminal ID Badge

It’s important to note that, in addition to a TWIC card, some terminals within the Port of Baltimore may require a separate Maryland Port Administration (MPA) Terminal ID Badge. This badge is issued by the specific terminal and authorizes access to their restricted areas. Be sure to check the terminal you’ll be visiting to confirm any additional identification requirements. By partnering with Operational Police Protective Services for your TWIC escort needs, you gain a team of dedicated professionals who ensure your personnel can navigate secure areas efficiently while adhering to all safety and regulatory requirements.

By partnering with Operational Police Protective Services, you can relax knowing your business is operating within a secure and compliant environment.
