Durham Tees Valley Airport to get new police facility

Durham Tees Valley Airport is funding the development of a purpose-built facility for the National Police Air Service, a news report in the local media has revealed.

Under the five-year agreement, the airport authorities are supporting a hangar for the air service’s Eurocopter EC135 aircraft which is based at Durham Tees Valley. Work on the new 3,445 sq ft facility is already underway with the aim of having it ready for use as quickly as possible.

Airport commercial director Andy Foulds said: "The Air Support Service is an important and long-standing tenant and this investment by the airport reflects our strong relationship. Up to now the service has had the use of one of our main hangars, but now it will enjoy the benefits of a facility specifically tailored to its requirements.”

"Meanwhile the hangar which the service previously occupied is being put to good use by Sycamore Aviation and its rapidly-developing aircraft recycling centre" he added.

Given the nature of the daily activities in such a building, implementing a very solid access control and time and attendance system is really a must, and this is specifically where Time & Attendance North East could puts its extensive experience to very good use.

Our systems are user-friendly, innovative and designed for the working environment. They also offer a wide array of features, such as support for contactless smart cards, as well as optional finger print biometrics and mobile phone SIM card support.

Moreover, the multi-user, networked, multi site Time and Attendance, Access Control, Fire Roll Call and security system includes European Working Time Directive checking and reporting and allows administrators to save up to 2000 employees, supports extensive shift management and payroll-related operations, the allocation of various pay bands, and much more.
