CICAD
provides training and technical assistance to officials in member states
to enhance their capacity to identify and intercept illicit drugs and
related contraband transported in this manner. In the area of training,
CICAD organizes seminars on various aspects of maritime narcotrafficking
control. Programs are developed in response to country needs and focus
on skills such as detecting or targeting high risk containers or
passengers, port security, customs monitoring and interdiction and
chemical control. As with other training activities, CICAD draws on the
expertise of specialists from a variety of countries to deliver the
programs. In addition to the skills building, the seminars are used to
promote operational cooperation and information exchange related to the
identification and interdiction of narcotrafficking by maritime means.
CICAD
provides technical assistance to member states either in response to
direct requests further to needs identified through studies or other
means. The nature of the technical assistance varies and could include
helping to develop operational systems or mechanisms to control ports,
conduct needs assessments, or to develop reference materials and other
resources such as guides and manuals to facilitate maritime controls and
operational activities.
CICAD
also provides technical assistance to member states in the
implementation of port or maritime-related codes, guides or standards of
operation or control that might be developed by international bodies
