The Commission was not able to determine the full extent of serious crime at seaports. No national data collection and reporting systems are now in place that cover serious crime in seaports. Federal agency databases do not adequately collect and report crime data by seaports, and state and local law enforcement agencies do not specifically collect and report crime data by seaports. For these reasons, the crime data summarized in this report, while significant, do not offer a fully comprehensive picture. Serious crime at sea-ports is probably more extensive than what is detected, reported, and retrievable from federal, state, and local law enforcement agencies. Criminal activity with a nexus to U.S. seaports encompasses a broad range of crimes, including the importation of illicit drugs, contraband, and prohibited or restricted merchandise; stowaways and alien smuggling; trade fraud and commercial smuggling; environmental crimes; cargo theft; and the unlawful exportation of controlled commodities and munitions, stolen property, and drug proceeds.
