SECURITY AND MAA FORCE Like a small city, TARAWA has her own police force. The differences between our Master- at-Arms and the municipal po- lice is noted by the varied re- sponsibilities. For instance you won't find local police maintain- ing the chow line, or performing customs inspections. The hours are long, but TARAWA's MAA's do a great job and like everyone on board, they're proud of the job they do.
