Wayne County Airport Authority Police Department
The Wayne County Airport Authority (WCAA) Police Department provides 24-hour police services to travelers, visitors and tenants at Detroit Metropolitan Wayne County Airport (DTW), Willow Run Airport and Crosswinds Marsh.
DTW is one of the nation’s largest and busiest airports. In this unique environment, our CALEA-accredited police department serves a community of nearly 30 million passengers each year.
Whether you are a first-time traveler, a person picking up a loved one, an airport service provider, or somewhere in between, our officers help ensure you can move through our facilities with little interruption and in a safe manner.
Officers work alongside federal partner agencies, including the Transportation Security Administration (TSA), the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), Customs and Border Protection (CBP), the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) and the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI). The WCAA Police Department also receives and provides support to local police agencies.
Our police department has a variety of responsibilities including proactive mobile patrol, foot patrol, as well as traffic direction and control as travelers make their way to and from passenger terminals. Officers monitor for suspicious behavior and criminal activity and respond to calls for service.
CALEA
The WCAA Police Department has been nationally accredited by the Commission on Accreditation for Law Enforcement Agencies - CALEA since 2008. Our police department is one of only eleven CALEA-accredited agencies in Michigan and recognized for embodying the best law enforcement practices.
