I'm sure there are more than a few KC-MO citizens who don't know the police force at K-C-I are basically enhanced armed security guards- not sworn KC-MO police officers.
Those "enhanced" security guards' powers are "little more than that of a citizen" and "restricted to airport property" say Chief Corwin.
These facts are brought to light as the KC-MO council has been discussing the takeover of K-C-I Police by the city's force- and a new KC-MO police station for it's Platte county zone patrol division.
With airport security a priority concern post 9-11-2001 - I would think this transition of lesser-trained "enhanced" security guards for fully-trained city police officers would be a no-brainer.
