In February 2009, the Port of Long Beach opened a state-of-the-art regional Command and Control Center for port security. This $21 million center is designed to provide the highest level of security oversight for port operations in a computerized, cyber-secure environment, and serves as a nerve center for local, state, and federal officials to monitor $369 billion of cargo movements across 3,200 acres.

This RFID & Cyber Security Technician program addresses the lack of qualified entry-level security technicians able to take advantage of exciting career pathways like those offered at the Port.

incorporate access control, surveillance, RFID tracking, and cyber security, program graduates become equipped with the technical, practical, and hands-on experience desired by industry leaders like the Port of Long Beach, where "security technician" can be the start of a career path that leads to security analyst, supervisor, project manager and lead project manager.
