Stansted Airport
Welcome to Stansted Airport district web page.
District Commander update
Policing an international airport poses challenges over and
above those encountered in everyday police work.
Above: Chief Insp Graham Stubbs Here at Stansted, we also have to be prepared to deal with more
specialised incidents such as counter terrorism, immigration, and
major events relating to the aviation industry.
Although Stansted is the third busiest airport in the UK,
recorded crime here continues to decrease. We also solve about
two thirds of those crimes suggesting that Stansted is not only one
of the safest airports but also the one where criminals are more
likely to get caught. This is not achieved through
luck. The policing teams here work very closely with partners
such as Stansted Airport Limited, the UK Border Agency; the airline
operators and the many retailers on site to make it the safe place
that it is.
I am always looking to improve the quality of policing at
Stansted and we now have named officers and priorities for each of
our Neighbourhoods. My teams aim to be in the right place at
the right time to provide reassurance, reduce crime and deter
anti-social behaviour. Please feel free to speak to them if
you have any concerns, want to pass on information or would like to
discuss local issues.
Stansted Airport is a very safe place but please continue to be
vigilant and report anything you think suspicious to us.
