To whom should you report suspicious individuals in the airport?

Reporting suspicious individuals in the airport to the Port Authority Police Department (PAPD) is crucial for ensuring safety and security. The PAPD is specifically trained and responsible for handling security matters within the airport, including investigating suspicious activities and maintaining a safe environment for everyone. By reporting to the PAPD, you ensure that trained law enforcement professionals are alerted to potentially dangerous situations and can take the appropriate action swiftly.

While other options may involve responsibilities regarding airport operations or management, they do not have the same level of training or authority to address security threats directly. The Airport Management may be involved in operational decisions, and the Security Control Center may oversee security operations, but the PAPD is the first point of contact for law enforcement issues. Flight Operations primarily deals with aircraft and flight management, not security threats. Thus, directing reports of suspicious individuals to the PAPD is the most effective way to ensure response actions are taken promptly and appropriately.
