Airpol Training

ended

The mission of the Airpol network (HOME/2015/ISPF/AIRP/0001) is to enhance the overall security in the European airports and civil aviation domain by optimizing the effectivness and efficiency of airports and aviation related law enforcement and border guard issues in the EU. The network aims at contributing to a more harmonized approach of enforcement in this domain and the networks scope encompasses the three aviation related themes: Airport Policing, Aviation Security and Air Border Security. The present focus for development as a compliment to the use of technology is looking into irregular and unwanted behaviour, in a wider sense as a mean to detect security risks from various phenomena such as lone suicide bomber, foreign fighters, to Insider Threaths and persons committing crimes at the airports. For that purpose expert groups are working on e.g Insider Threaths moving on from the previous Airpol work on Community Policing Preventing Radicalization and Terrorism at European Airports (COPPRA). There are also expert groups on developing a Behaviour Detection model and one on Securing Airport Community.The activitites in this application focuses on the outcome of these expert groups and to secure that this outcome is taken care of in training sessions and a conference on Behaviour Detection where the result of the expert group will be discussed with all possible actors at European Airports within Law Enforcement Agencies (LEA) as well as with participants from other relevant organizations outside this group. The third area is creating a Secure Airport Community where the expert group will come up with a document on how to organize the work to create a secure airport community, including all steps from booking a ticket to departure i.e both landside and airside security.
