New Employee Information

Security Badges

• Security Badges (known as SIDA badges) are administered and managed by the Airport Security Coordinator through the Communications Center (Com Center).
   
• The Com Center is located on the second floor, by the elevator and is staffed 24/7/365.
   
• Employees seeking security badges must complete the SIDA badge application and obtain the employer’s designee’s signature.
   
• Applicants must return the completed application along with the required identification (outlined within the application) to the Com Center during normal business hours: Monday – Friday 0800-1500 excluding holidays.
   
• Applicants must then submit to a digital electronic fingerprint-based Criminal History Records Check (CHRC).
   
• After CHRC clearance (which may take 5-7 business days), applicants must pass SIDA Interactive Employee Training in order to receive a SIDA badge. This training is available 24/7 at the Com Center.
   
• Badge applications are void after 30 business days from date of fingerprint collection.
   
• SIDA badges are valid for one year and must be returned to the Com Center upon expiration, transfer, termination or when the badge holder no longer requires access.
