All elevators accessing the Restricted Area (Level 3) in Jeppesen Terminal are now fully operational with biometrics. Security escorting is prohibited from public space to the Restricted Area at any biometric elevator that does not have a guard posted on Level 3. TE-60 (Mod 1 West) is the only elevator where escorts are allowed within the terminal into the Restricted Area.

Escorting is only approved if the person being escorted has a “demonstrated business need to be in the area” and, has not exceeded the three-times escort policy, and is being escorted by a person with a DEN Airport ID Badge with escorting privileges as stated in the Denver Municipal Airport System Rules and Regulations Part 20 – Security.

Quick Thinking by City and County of Denver Parks and Recreation Employees

On Wednesday, Jan. 19, 2011, at 10:17 a.m., Parks and Recreation employees Ellis Jackson, Joe Alire, Max Sigala Jr., Robert Gorham, and Eddie Fischer were changing filters in Jeppesen Terminal. An electrical fixture shorted-out near Door 616 while they were working. The fixture sent sparks to the floor setting a mat on fire. Jackson ran to the ticket counter and asked for a fire extin-guisher. He then ran back and put the fire out while the other workers ensured passengers stayed clear.

Airport Security would like to commend these employees for a job well done.

Jeppesen Terminal South and North Passenger Screening Checkpoint Lanes

On July 11, 2011, the TSA officially opened two additional Passenger Screening Checkpoint Lanes. The TSA has a total of 30 Passenger Screening Checkpoint Lanes. The addition of the two lanes will better facilitate customer flow from Jeppesen Terminal to the gate areas.

Employee Access Portals in Jeppesen Terminal

In early winter 2011, Denver International Airport expects comple-tion of an employee turnstile at both the North and South Passenger Screening Checkpoints. The employee turnstiles will resemble the Employee Airside Access Portals, which will require the use of employee verification via a DEN Airport ID badge and biometric.

The employee access portal is only for employees reporting to work (cannot be used when traveling on a flight). Watch for more information on this news in the coming weeks.

Authorizing Agents – Fingerprint and Badging Applications

As an Authorizing Agent please ensure that you are verifying Section 1, Section 2, and Section 3 before completing Section 5. Please ensure that the Fingerprint and Badging Application is legible and accurate. Also make sure that applicants understand what Section 2 requires, and that they are aware that they are subject to possible civil action by the TSA and/or FBI if they falsify a Fingerprinting and Badge Application.

a) The application must be signed by the Authorizing Agent after the employee has completed the employee

sections and the backside of the application.

b) The application must be signed by the Authorizing Agent after the employee has completed the Employee Sections and no more than 30 calendar days before the employee presents the application. All Autho-rizing Agent signatures must be authentic. Stamp, photocopy, or facsimile signatures will not be accepted on Fingerprinting and Badging Applications.

c) An Authorizing Agent who signs the Fingerprinting and Badging Application before the employee sections have been completed, or who loses an application and does not report it to Airport Security, may have his or her Authorizing Agent privileges revoked, and the Airport ID Badge may be suspended.
