摘要

Securing critical naval installation and seaports is critical to maritime security. This paper examines civilian police officers and enlisted Master at Arms (MA) in the Navy Security Forces (NSF) who are in charge of securing these critical assets and key personnel. Data is compiled through Defense Manpower Data Center (DMDC) records from 2017 to 2024 for police officers and 2001–2024 for MA personnel. Most notably, the study exposes a substantial pay disparity between NSF police officers and other police officers. This disparity is particularly problematic considering NSF officers are commonly stationed in expensive coastal areas in these states. This paper is an analysis to look at the dynamics at play and to inform decision makers on steps to take to make sure the NSF community remains strong and ready.
