The Airport Police Department (APD) is an independent FDLE certified Police 
			Department under the Airport Authority.  The APD provides a wide variety of law 
			enforcement, security, and safety services for the traveling public and the 
			airport community.  The primary responsibility is safety, terminal and airport 
			traffic control, and adherence to Transportation Security Administration (TSA) 
			regulations.  The APD staff includes a Police Chief, Police Lieutenant, Police 
			Sergeants, Corporals, Officers and Civilian Traffic Control Specialists.  
			They are all highly trained and are dedicated to providing friendly customer 
			service.
The APD's jurisdiction encompases Airport boundaries in both Sarasota County, The City 
of Sarasota, and Manatee County Florida. The APD works very close with these adjoining 
jurisdictions in addition to the New College Police Department which is just outside 
the Airports gates.
