The Canadian Air Transport Security Authority (CATSA) fosters a culture of accountability, excellence and trust through its people, its partners and its governance. CATSA values its partnership with contracted security firms, who employ the Screening Officers.  Together, we ensure critical elements of the air transportation system are secure - from passenger screening to baggage screening.

All pre-board Screening Officers in Canada are security cleared and rigorously trained on a program built on the principle of continuous improvement. The classroom, on the job and computer and web-based training never stops and evaluations – both written and practical – are conducted frequently. Screening officers at Canada’s airports must be CATSA certified.

The role of Screening Officer is an important part of ensuring the security of air travellers, airline staff, airport employees and others who work in and travel through our country’s airports. Screening Officers are also vital to Canada’s overall security measures, working as part of a team that keeps our country, our citizens and our skies safe.
