- The private security service is branching its expertise to port compliance with TWIC escort services
Pasadena, Maryland, 4 Dec 2025, ZEX PR WIRE, Operational Police Protective Services (OPPS), a leading provider of armed security and specialized protective services, announced today the expansion of its TWIC escort operations to support increasing compliance needs at ports, maritime facilities, and high-security industrial sites. This strategic growth strengthens OPPS’s commitment to delivering reliable, certified escort solutions that ensure safe and compliant access for individuals without Transportation Worker Identification Credentials.
TWIC compliance is essential for maintaining secure operations within restricted maritime zones. As more companies rely on contractors, vendors, and visiting personnel who do not hold TWIC credentials, the demand for qualified escorts has risen significantly. OPPS’s expanded program provides trained, vetted, and professional personnel capable of navigating complex port environments while ensuring full adherence to federal security regulations.
“With the growth of port traffic and the evolving security landscape, facilities need escort services they can trust,” said a spokesperson from OPPS. “Our expansion allows us to respond quickly, maintain compliance, and support our partners with dependable professionals who understand both the regulatory requirements and the importance of operational efficiency.”
The expanded TWIC escort division includes additional certified officers, enhanced communication technologies, and streamlined scheduling systems designed to meet last-minute and high-volume requests. OPPS escorts are trained to manage vehicle and pedestrian access control, monitor movements within secure areas, and maintain real-time communication with facility security officers. These capabilities help reduce delays, prevent compliance violations, and ensure a safe environment for both authorized and escorted personnel.
This operational growth also reflects OPPS’s continued investment in specialized training. Every TWIC escort officer undergoes instruction in federal maritime regulations, situational awareness, emergency protocols, and professional conduct standards, ensuring that clients receive not only compliance assistance but also a high level of security oversight.
Industries benefiting from the expanded service include maritime shipping, petrochemical facilities, freight forwarding operations, energy companies, logistics firms, and government contractors operating within secure port zones. OPPS’s commitment to flexibility allows organizations of all sizes to rely on consistent, around-the-clock support.
“Our mission has always been to provide security solutions that adapt to our clients’ needs,” added the spokesperson. “This expansion strengthens our ability to protect critical infrastructure while helping businesses maintain seamless, compliant operations.”
