The Security Challenges Faced by Border Security Personnel due to the Spread of Coronavirus (COVID-19): Airport Security as an Example
Article content
Abstract
Emergency medical cases present challenges, especially for security and law enforcement agencies. This is the case whether the threat is manmade such as Anthrax or biological terrorist attacks or natural such as flu or coronavirus pandemics. Strategies to face these situations are different according to the reasons, levels, and trends of the threat – and according to the potential danger to the strength of the police. In cases where there are widespread epidemics, such as Coronavirus COVID-19, police personnel are compelled to balance their resources and efforts between these new responsibilities and the requirements of their daily services that relate to the security of both society and the individual. The ability of the Interior Ministry and related agencies in public security depends on an effective response to any emergency situation related to health, and this mainly depends on the preparation and planning that these agencies have with their strategic partners to face this emergency.
This study clarifies the main issues that must be dealt with by police officials in emergency medical cases. The study concentrates on personnel working in border security, in particular airport security personnel. The study revealed that there are three threats facing police agencies in this matter: The first threat relates to guaranteeing the continuation of security operations that ensure the safety of air traffic, the second threat relates to maintaining the safety of personnel in airport security
