The St. Louis Lambert Airport Police is the airport police division of City of St. Louis Airport Commission (STLAC), the department that operates the airport in St. Louis, Missouri: St. Louis Lambert International Airport. It has more than 75 officers, security, and staff. Though it works very closely with the Metropolitan Police Department (SLMPD), SLAPD is a separate entity, primarily due to the airport police having specialized training and funding resources.


The Airport Police Department is a division of the City of St. Louis Airport Commission.

Merging the Airport Police Department with the police department of the city of St. Louis has been discussed.

Canine Unit

The Canine Unit is staffed by police officers who handle 10 canines. The canines are available on a 24-hour basis to assist with seeking hidden explosives and narcotics.
