The Port Authority of New York and New Jersey Police Department , or Port Authority Police Department ( PAPD ), is a law enforcement agency in New York and New Jersey , the duties of which are to protect all facilities owned by the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey , and to enforce state and city laws at all the facilities.

Escorting and protecting visiting dignitaries is provided for on a daily basis.
