Reminder: March 24 ‘Let’s Talk Port’ to Focus on Security
Community forum this Wednesday, 6:30 p.m. at El Dorado Park

“Let’s Talk Port” returns this Wednesday, March 24 at 6:30 p.m. at El Dorado Park, with an evening focused on security and the Port of Long Beach.

Security is a top priority at the Port of Long Beach, given the Port’s role as a major hub for international trade and an economic engine for the region. Some of the most common questions the Port receives are about security and the progress made since 9/11.

At the forum, Port officials and security partners including the  the Coast Guard, Customs and Border Protection, and the Long Beach Police and Fire departments will discuss how highly skilled personnel, high-tech equipment and comprehensive organizational efforts are brought together to secure the Port of Long Beach and its business operations.

• The event starts at 6:30 p.m. Wednesday at the El Dorado Park Senior Wing/Bridge Room, 2800 Studebaker Road, Long Beach, 90815.

The “Let’s Talk Port” series of traveling forums is open to the public, giving residents a chance to interact with Port representatives and an opportunity to provide feedback on the issues that matter to them. 

There will be light refreshments and giveaways. This is the third of four Let’s Talk Port forums set for this year, each with a unique theme. For more information on Let’s Talk Port, please visit our website at www.polb.com/outreach, e-mail letstalkport@polb.com or call (562) 590-4121.
