2. About TAPA

TAPA’s Purpose

Cargo crime is one of the biggest supply chain challenges for manufacturers of valuable, high risk products and their logistics service providers.

The threat is no longer only from opportunist criminals. Today, organized crime rings are operating globally and using increasingly sophisticated attacks on vehicles, premises, and personnel to achieve their aims.

TAPA is a unique forum that unites global manufacturers, logistics providers, freight carriers, law enforcement agencies, and other stakeholders with the common aim of reducing losses from international supply chains. TAPA’s primary focus is theft prevention through the use of real-time intelligence and the latest preventative measures.

TAPA’s Mission

TAPA’s mission is to help protect members’ assets by minimizing cargo losses from the supply chain. TAPA achieves this through the development and application of global security standards, recognized industry practices, technology, education, benchmarking, regulatory collaboration, and the proactive identification of crime trends and supply chain security threats.
