What I Do

I work for the Transportation Security Administration, or TSA, a part of the United States Department of Homeland Security as a Transportation Security Officer.  To be more specific, I am a Supervisory Transportation Security Officer.

I work at Kansas City International Airport in Kansas City Missouri.  Our mission is to perform security screening functions on individuals and their property insuring that terrorist cannot and will not take control of an aircraft departing KCI in order to repeat the tragedy of September 11, 2001.

We are Dual Function certified.  This means that we are fully certified by TSA to perform security functions focused on either passengers or baggage.  We are a highly trained security force whose training really never does stop.  We train constantly in order to stay ahead of those who would do harm to the flying public.

As a Supervisor, I am responsible for a team of officers whose job it is to secure assigned locations throughout the airport.  I am very proud of our officers.  In my opinion they are among the finest in the nation if not the best and I am honored to be part of their team.
