The airport community is protected by the Airport Police Department (APD).  With an authorized strength of 10 full time commissioned officers, the department provides the airport with 24/7 police protection. 

Airport policing involves extensive customer service and officers frequently find themselves assisting customers to ensure their visit is a pleasant experience.  Protecting the public and providing exceptional customer service are the main priorities of the APD

The APD achieved status as a criminal justice agency in June of 2002 and it is recognized by Missouri Department of Public Safety as a stand alone law enforcement agency. 

APD officers have at least two years prior police experience before being hired.  Officers at the airport have a thorough knowledge of airport security issues and police methods applicable to the airport environment.
