Airport Watch Adelaide Operational Trial

The Airport Watch Operational trial has been underway at Adelaide Airport for just over a week. The idea of Airport Watch is not to target legitimate airport users but to create an awareness of what could be considered "unusual" activity and enhance the security culture to report such events.

If such events are reported then bona fides can be established. If these events are not reported, then there is no opportunity to establish activities as suspicious or otherwise.

Airport Watch endeavours to create and enhance a security conscious culture within the airport community. Most regular airport users know their neighbours and general day to day activites. Events that are out of the ordinary should be readily detectable.

Airport users are also asked to become involved. Such as travellers, taxi drivers, couriers, aviation enthusiasts and others.

The bottom line is: See it, report it! This then directs the issue to someone qualified to make any security determinations.

This all adds to airport safety for everyone.

5DME will be producing a video at the end of each week to help cover relevant points of the trial.
