Installation of gates, CCTV, Fiber optics network and central station of monitoring .This project request is for one-time funding for the construction of a port wide security improvement plan and additional fire protection equipment for the shipping industry.� The project includes the construction of roadway access control gate complexes, electronically controlled dockside vehicle and pedestrian gates, closed circuit television cameras, a security operations center, an extensive LAN network throughout the port to support a fully integrated ID badging and access control system, and a fireboat equipped for shipboard fires.�� Port Everglades has been identified as the primary source of illegal narcotics into the State of Florida.� By securing the Port=s entry points vis-a-vis restricting access to only those who have successfully completed criminal background investigations, we anticipate a significant reduction in smuggling activities and the potential for terrorist acts within the port.
