What kind of services does Allied Universal provide to the Aviation Industry?

Allied Universal provides a wide array of services to Airports and the Aviation Industry. For Airports, we provide Unarmed and Armed, Landside/Airside security services, traffic control/parking enforcement, AOA Gate access control, loading dock/vendor delivery inspections, concession inspections, badging operations, SIDA escorts, employee screening, and exit lane security to name a few. We are well versed in all aspects of 49 CFR 1542 and the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) Annex 17 and Security Manual. For Aircraft Operators, we provide aircraft security services, which include terminal security, aircraft screening – cleaners, fuel operations, catering services – and access control for hangars, repair facilities, and the like.

Does Allied Universal have Aviation specific training or Certifications?

Yes. Allied Universal recognizes the unique nature of security programs in an aviation environment. As such, we developed our own Aviation Security Curriculum comprised of a wide variety of modules such as: Aviation Security Fundamentals, Aircraft Security & Inspections, Catering Inspections, Baggage and Cargo Inspections and many others. Through our partnership with the American Association of Airport Executives (AAAE), Allied Universal also deploys the ATNT Digicast Training Program. We also invest significantly in AAAE’s Airport Certified Employee/Airport Security Coordinator Certification programs for all our operational teams supporting airport programs. Most recently, we have begun investing in the Airports Council International (ACI) Airport Diploma Programme which provides our managers with well grounded knowledge in ICAO Security requirements.

How do I know the security team are performing the duties we have established?

At Allied Universal we can utilize our HELIAUS® Workforce Management tool as part of our security program. The system utilizes GPS to track patrols and provide accountability, incident tracking for transparency, and utilizes artificial intelligence to alert the security team on hot spots for patrol adjustments. Meanwhile all activity and reporting can be viewed at any time through the web-based portal. We have had significant success in customizing HELIAUS to the Aviation environment, leveraging its capabilities to ensure compliance with regulations and reporting, resulting in reduction in TSA Letters of Investigation (LOIs) and other security related performance measures.
