CISF men get training to keep airports safe

Chennai: The Central Industrial Security Force (CISF), which controls security at all commercial airports in the country, has initiated training for personnel exclusively for the aviation sector.
As many as 1,400 people recruited for the airport sector are undergoing training at different levels at the Recruit Training Centre in Arakonam, which has got accreditation from the Bureau of Civil Aviation Security (BCAS) in May 2011 and has been entrusted with imparting basic aviation security training and aviation security management courses.
This will be bolstered by the training centre at Chennai airport, which has been approved by the BCAS and is expected to commence training soon.
This will be a change from the past when CISF personnel deployed at airports were trained either at centres such as the National Industrial Security Academy in Hyderabad or at airports that had such training facilities.
