Security Training

Badge applicants must be able to comprehend Long Island MacArthur Airport’s security rules, guidelines, regulations and procedures and possess the ability to perform the responsibilities associated with unescorted access privileges. To fulfill this requirement, all individuals applying for an ISP Photo ID Badge must first undergo security training. Training is conducted at Long Island MacArthur Airport’s Security and Training Office Monday through Friday during normal business hours. Applicants will need to come in for processing/fingerprinting before attending the training.

As part of training, applicants must pass a test which certifies their understanding of the information presented. Those failing the test will be permitted to repeat the training after a minimum of a one-day period between training times. A request to re-take the training must be made in writing by an Authorized Signer, and will be reviewed for approval on a case-by-case basis. Questions regarding this request or any other special arrangements must be directed to the ISP ID Office.

Badge Replacement

Badges that have been lost or stolen MUST BE REPORTED IMMEDIATELY to the ISP Law Enforcement Office. This notification will allow the MacArthur Airport’s ID Office to “revoke” the lost or stolen Badge in the Security Card Access System, so if found, the badge cannot be used to gain access.

Individuals who require a replacement Badge must fill out a “Badge Replacement Form” before a replacement may be issued. This form must be signed by the Authorizing Signer for the company. Badge Replacement Forms are available in the ISP ID Office.

Return of ISP Badges

It is the responsibility of each company to maintain accountability of all Long Island MacArthur Airport ID Badges issued to their employees. Badges must be retrieved and returned to MacArthur Airport when an individual no longer requires access to the AOA, Restricted or Secured Areas, resigns, is terminated, retires, is laid-off, on strike or is on medical or maternity leave. Badges must be returned to ISP's ID Office a Returned Badge Form within 3 days (72 hours) of the separation.

NOTE: Contractor Badges are valid only for the construction project for which they were issued. Upon completion of the project, all badges must be returned.

In cases when an ISP Photo ID Badge is not retrieved from the individual at the time of separation, ISP’s ID Office must be notified by telephone or in person within eight hours. In cases of termination for cause, where the company does not have the ISP photo ID Badge, notification must be made IMMEDIATELY. Upon notification, the Long Island MacArthur ID Office will revoke the individual’s access in the Security Card Access Control System, to prevent any further access to the AOA, Restricted or Secured Areas. A Separation Form must still be filled out and submitted, indicating what steps the company has taken to retrieve the ID Badge from the former employee.

ALL BADGES ISSUED TO YOUR COMPANY MUST BE ACCOUNTED FOR.

Failure to notify Long Island MacArthur Airport about any ISP photo ID Badge that you can no longer account for is a violation of the Airport Security Plan and may result in administrative sanctions and/or civil penalties.
