The Belfast International Airport Constabulary (BIAC) is a small, specialised police force responsible for providing policing to the Belfast International Airport in Aldergrove, Northern Ireland. Officers employed by the force as empowered to act as Constables in accordance with the Airport (Northern Ireland) Order 1994 whilst on land owned or controlled by the airport.[1] The Belfast International Airport Constabulary is the last remaining privately funded airport police force in the United Kingdom,[2] however airport forces still operate in the Republic of Ireland[3] and the Isle of Man.[4]
Officers of the Belfast International Airport Constabulary are employees of the airport authority.[1] Like all police agencies operating in Northern Ireland, they are subject to oversight from the Police Ombudsman for Northern Ireland.[5] Any serious incidents taking place at the airport are automatically passed to the local territorial police force, the Police Service of Northern Ireland.[1]
