Airport Policing

Our Airport Policing Unit provides police services to millions of travellers each year who travel through the Ottawa International Airport (YOW) from all around the world.

Located on the first floor at the north end of the Passenger Terminal Building (PTB), our police officers receive specialized training for an airport environment.

Police are there to ensure the safety and security of travellers and their loved ones, dropping off and picking up passengers.

Airport police officers at YOW work with:

  • Canadian Air Transportation Security Administration (CATSA)
  • Canadian Border Services Agency (CBSA)
  • Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP)
  • US Customs and Border Protection
