Last week, a senior DHS official examined security measures at the nation’s largest ferry system.

Betsy Markey, DHS’s assistant secretary of intergovernmental affairs, rode aboard a ferry last Thursday in Seattle as it sailed from Colman Dock to Bainbridge Island.

Markey’s visit comes as a part of a broader DHS push to promote its “If You See Something, Say Something” public awareness campaign.

The campaign will be implemented in conjunction with the Washington State Ferries (WSF) system. Posters will be prominently featured at all WSF stations and on all ferries.

Markey was joined by Washington State Department of Transportation assistant secretary David Moseley, who said, “I’m excited that we’re the first ferry system in the nation to be partnering with the Department of Homeland Security on their ‘If You See Something, Say Something’ campaign.”
