ACCESS CONTROL OFFICE (ACO)

The Access Control Office (ACO) is responsible for the issuance of airport security identification badges to employees who work and require access to San Diego International Airport (SAN). Individuals who work and require unescorted access to the Security Identification Display Area (SIDA) and Sterile Areas must possess an airport-issued SAN ID badge. Badge issuance is limited to those individuals who have cleared the FBI-based Criminal History Records Check (CHRC) as well as the TSA-based Security Threat Assessment (STA) and have frequent and reoccurring need for access.
