Plane watch
Applications closed
Applications to join Essex Plane Watch are currently closed.
More information will be available when the watch scheme re-opens to applicants.
This watch scheme is based at Stansted Airport and is run by Essex Police.
The watch scheme aims to:
- Create positive links between the police and aviation enthusiasts.
- Help us to protect the airport from criminals and defeat terrorist threats against aviation.
- Occasionally allow members to spot planes from a normally restricted area of the airport.
- Provide a forum to exchange views and information and post photographs.
Members are given a welcome pack, lanyard and identification card to show at the airport.
We keep in touch with member by email or letter to let you know how you can help. We’ll let you know what we’re looking for and who you can contact to report anything suspicious.
The identification card strictly prohibits members gaining access to any restricted area within the airport. It does not give members any additional rights over any other member of the public.
