If an employee is terminated, or a security badge is lost, companies need to alert the Airport Police Department immediately to make sure that the badge is deactivated.
Recently, over a holiday weekend, an email was sent to the Badging Office late on a Friday evening after the office had closed, noting that a badge had been reported stolen. The email wasn’t seen until the following week.
A stolen or lost badge that’s still active could be used to access non-public and security areas.
On regular workdays, from 7 a.m. to 3 p.m., employers can call or email the Badging Office to report a badge that needs deactivation.
After-hours -- including evenings, weekends and holidays -- businesses should contact the airport’s Emergency Communications Center at 612-726-5577 to report a badge that needs deactivation. Staff at that non-emergency number can deactivate badges.
