"Security" becomes the Airport Police Security at your airport has been completely reworked. The old Security building is now called the 🚓 Airport Police, and it's much more than a box to tick in the security rating: the station can be upgraded, needs its own officers, has its own research branch and handles incidents at your airport. 🚓 The station in three levels You'll find it in the Security menu as before ($200,000, now 4×2 tiles). Right-click it to open the police window, where you upgrade it:
Level 1 – Police Post: needs 4 officers
Level 2 – Police Station ($400,000): one more floor, needs 8 officers
Level 3 – Police Headquarters ($800,000): another floor, needs 12 officers
Every level has its own building. So you can see the upgrade while the window is open, a small live view next to the window shows the station – including a dust cloud during construction. 👮 Hiring officers The police need their own staff, for the day and the night shift. You hire them right in the police window ($50 per officer per day, $65 at night; like all staff, this needs a staff center). The station is only ready for duty once it's finished, has power and is fully staffed. ⭐ Changes to the security rating
A station that is ready for duty gives half a star at first.
The full star requires level 3 and all eight police research items.
As before: you only get the tenth passenger star with all six security stars.
For existing saves: A Security building you have already built keeps its full star – even without staff, as long as it stands. It stays at 3×2 tiles. It still needs officers to handle incidents, though. 🔬 New research branch: Police
🚓 Police Station and Police Headquarters – unlock levels 2 and 3
📹 Video Surveillance – camera masts and the camera view, incidents are handled faster
🖥️ Video Analytics – incidents are handled even faster
🐕 Explosive Detection Dogs – the dog unit; unattended bags are checked much faster
🐕 Drug Detection Dogs – smuggled goods in cargo are found
🛂 Body Scanners – one security checkpoint in the terminal handles 4 parking positions instead of 3
🧳 CT Baggage Scanners – even 5 parking positions per security checkpoint
🚨 Incidents About every three to five days the police have something to do, and you get a message about it:
🧳 Unattended bag in a terminal: until the all-clear, no flights are sent to its parking positions.
😡 Unruly passenger on board: the turnaround of an aircraft at its stand is delayed until the police have escorted the passenger off.
📦 Smuggling in cargo: with drug detection dogs the goods are found – and if you have customs, they pay a reward of $40,000 to $120,000.
A higher station level and the video research make incidents shorter. If no station is ready for duty, they take twice as long. 🐕 Dog unit in the terminal With the explosive detection dogs, an officer with a German Shepherd patrols every large terminal (Terminal 3, 4 and 5) – visible when you take the roof off or in interior design. 📹 Camera masts and camera view After Video Surveillance you can build camera masts in the Security menu (1×1, $15,000); the camera faces the build direction. The camera view starts from the police window (in the 3D view): you see the airport through the surveillance cameras – almost black and white, with a timestamp and "REC". Switch cameras with ◀ ▶, zoom with the mouse wheel, and press ESC to leave. 🚓 Patrol car Every one to three in-game hours, a patrol car with flashing blue lights leaves a station that is ready for duty, drives a round on the airport roads and returns to the station. Your Own Airline If you own the Your Own Airline DLC: "everything researched" now also includes the eight police research items. If you have already founded your airline, nothing changes for you.
