Airport Security
The Calcasieu Parish Sheriff's Office currently provides a secure environment for the Lake Charles Regional Airport around the clock. This division is staffed by five (5) Louisiana P.O.S.T. certified deputies.
Their responsibilities include but are not limited to providing a security presence at boarding gates as well as exit gates, patrol the airport perimeter and grounds, monitoring the numerous surveillance cameras throughout the facility, along with responding to any emergency should one arise.
Often, these deputies are the first representative of Calcasieu Parish observed by incoming travelers. Therefore, it is important that they conduct themselves in a courteous yet professional manner.
