You and the police work together to keep airports and navigation equipment safe. Your job is to stop crimes from happening at these places. The crimes they're talking about are described in the Aviation Crimes Act 1972. You also need to protect people and property from dangers that might happen if someone tries to commit these crimes. This teamwork happens at special airports and navigation installations that have been marked as needing extra security.
