Which of the following is a role of the airport police?

• A. Manage airline fuel supply
• B. Respond to screening checkpoints
• C. Schedule flights
• D. Oversee catering services

Answer: (B)

Airport police are security-minded professionals focused on safety and enforcing laws within the airport environment. Responding to screening checkpoints fits this role because those checkpoints are critical security zones where disturbances, alarms, or potential threats can occur, and law enforcement is needed to maintain order, protect passengers, and coordinate with security screeners. The other tasks—fuel supply management, flight scheduling, and overseeing catering—are operational or service functions handled by ground operations, airline/airport operations, or contractors, not law enforcement.
