The
Aviation Security Operational Command Unit (CO18) is a Specialist Operations unit of the London
Metropolitan Police Service that provides policing and security for both London Heathrow Airport and London City Airport airports. London's other airports,
London Gatwick Airport and
London Stansted Airport, are policed by the
Sussex Police and the Essex Police respectively, as they are not actually located in the
Greater London area or the Metropolitan Police District.
History
Policing at Heathrow was initially undertaken by the
United Kingdom Civil Aviation Authority. In 1965, the responsibility was taken over by the
British Airports Authority Constabulary, which subsequently passed to the Metropolitan Police on
1 November 1974 as a consequence of the
Policing of Airports Act 1974.
Policing of London City Airport has always been undertaken by the Metropolitan Police, with Aviation Security acquiring the remit from local officers during 2004.
Policing today
The unit employs around 400 police officers, the vast majority of whom are armed. As well as dealing with routine policing incidents, Aviation Security must always guard against
terrorism and be ready to respond to an Accidents and incidents in aviation. Trafficking in human beings is another area policed with close working relationships existing with the
Border and Immigration Agency. Traffic wardens and Police Community Support Officers work at both airports.
In 2005 the Metropolitan Police Commissioner,
Sir Ian Blair, announced that Specialist Operations units were to be re-aligned. The plans included forming three new departments within Specialist Operations to carry out specific functions:
Protecting People, (Splitting the functions of both SO14 & SO16 and merging them with parts of SO17, SO18 and SO12)
Protecting Places, (Splitting the functions of both SO14 & SO16 and merging them with parts of SO17 and SO18)
Counter Terrorism Command (Merging SO12 & SO13 together)
On the 2 April 2007, SO18 transferred to the Central Operations business group and became CO18.
The armed airport officers carry the following weapons:
Heckler & Koch MP5/A3 (Sub-Machine gun)Heckler & Koch G36C (Sub-Machine gun)Glock 17 (Pistol)
Armed Response Airport Vehicles patrol the runway, entry and exit points to the main terminal buldings. Also armed foot patrols are inside.
