Captain Mark Thomas

The Homeland Security Division encompasses Vessel and Terminal Security (VATS) for the entire WSF fleet and terminal security in Western Washington counties, command of the four WSP inter-agency bomb squads, canine handler training for explosives and narcotics canine teams and agency homeland security coordination.

The division headquarters is located in Seattle, with additional offices in Bremerton, Poulsbo, Olympia and Everett.

Our public safety efforts demonstrate our personnel's commitment to community- and problem-oriented policing techniques. Their hard work in combination with our public safety partners has helped the Washington State Ferries maintain a safer transit system and helped enhance our economy and encourage tourism.
