The San Diego Unified Port District (District) Harbor Police Department (HPD) implemented CommandBridge, which is a software and video situational awareness solution that provides a real-time view of various sensor systems ranging from vessel locations to the District's secure video system. CommandBridge was created and configured by The Mariner Group, a subsidiary of Ares Security Corporation, which provides exclusive support and maintenance for the solution's software, functionality and data integration.
CommandBridge was implemented with support from a United States Port Security Grant, and the grant-funded project work was completed in Fiscal Year 2017. The solution is under maintenance and support extending from the original implementation agreement that is available through June 30, 2018.
