The $21 million, 25,000-square-foot facility houses the Port of Long Beach Security Division and Harbor Patrol as well as units from the Long Beach Police Department, Port of Los Angeles, U.S. Coast Guard, U.S. Customs and Border Protection and Marine Exchange during an emergency. In keeping with the Port’s Green Port Policy, the structure is LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) certified, incorporating environmentally friendly design, recycled materials, energy efficiency and sustainable construction practices.
