Operation Stonegarden (OPSG) is a preparedness grant program administered by the Florida Division of Emergency Management. The program aims to enhance cooperation and coordination among U.S. Customs and Border Protection, U.S. Border Patrol, and federal, state, local, tribal, and territorial law enforcement agencies.
