www.Parctel.com: It's a little known fact that PDX is located on a migratory flyway where hundreds of bird species travel every year. This includes hawks, known primarily for extraordinary eyesight and keen sense of awareness.
That's why the Port of Portland's public safety and security department is using the hawk on the cover of a new booklet called the Airport Security Guide. The hawk serves as a symbol for a community watch program for PDX badge holders. The program is called HAWKS, short for Helping Airport Workers Know Security.
The HAWKS program is intended to create a more secure environment for everyone at PDX by enlisting the support of all badge holders as extra “eyes” to observe and report anything that looks suspicious. The guide provides information to help airport workers become an integral part of the airport community’s HAWKS team.
The guide also highlights key badge holder responsibilities and consequences for not upholding these responsibilities.
