An airport who recently started their own police force is about to be grounded according to a local news report.
The Jackson Hole Airport has hit another dead-end in its efforts to find an agency willing to certify its law enforcement officers according to this news article.
Currently the officers are certified through the Teton County Sheriff’s department, however last week week sheriff Bob Zimmer reportedly told the Jackson Hole Airport Board that his department won’t continue to certify the three airport officers past Dec. 1.
The Jackson Hole Airport has hit another dead-end in its efforts to find an agency willing to certify its law enforcement officers according to this news article.
Currently the officers are certified through the Teton County Sheriff’s department, however last week week sheriff Bob Zimmer reportedly told the Jackson Hole Airport Board that his department won’t continue to certify the three airport officers past Dec. 1.
The sheriff says he’s concerned about the liability of taking responsibility for officers who aren’t under his direct command.
Looking for another department to certify their officers, the airport looked at an area national park but officials at the Grand Teton National Park on Thursday also declined to provide law-enforcement support for the airport. A Park Service official says that providing airport security isn’t the agency’s responsibility.
If the airport can not find a law enforcement agency to keep their officers certified, the officers would loose their arrest authority and be left back where they started, a security department.
