Police officers can be seen at all hours, seven days a week, patrolling the roadways in their vehicles, as well as inside the terminals on foot and even on bicycles. Eight Phoenix Police officers at

Sky Harbor partner with explosive detection canines, which check unattended bags and other suspicious items. If you ever have a question at Sky Harbor, feel free to walk up to a police officer and ask - our officers know the Airport inside and out. Sky Harbor also has an operations staff which is responsible for safety and security on the curbs, inside of the terminals and in the Air Operations Area where the runways and taxiways are located. Sky Harbor Operation staff encourages all visitors to keep their eye out for suspicious activity and to report to an Airport employee anything that seems out of place. Sky Harbor offers specific tips on how everyone can assist with Airport security in a program called SOAR or Secure Our Airport Responsibly.
