This project will allow the PPD to maintain its core capabilities as a first tier response agency for all Norfolk Harbor maritime incidents in accordance with the VA AMS and national priorities and plans. • Additionally, this project allows PPD continued sustainability of our counter- terrorism response proficiencies in event of an attack in the region.
