COM-1N MOU Study Area Enhance Coordination of Law Enforcement Resources
Though Keesler AFB and other local and state law enforcement agencies have a notable
history of partnering and coordination, consider opportunities to enhance these relationships.

cross training opportunities with Keesler AFB to expand response capability, optimize
resources, and facilitate training certifications. Such initiatives could include improved access
to boats at the Keesler AFB Marina and coordinated marine patrols on the Back Bay to
increase coverage periods.
