What must aircraft operators do regarding LEOs aboard?

Aircraft operators are required to notify the pilot-in-command (PIC) and inform each armed law enforcement officer (LEO) aboard of the locations of other armed LEOs. This practice is essential because it enhances situational awareness and helps ensure safety on board the aircraft. When all armed LEOs are aware of each other’s locations, it minimizes the risk of miscommunication or misunderstanding during a critical situation, allowing for better coordination and response if necessary.

Additionally, this protocol is aimed at maintaining security and ensuring that all personnel are on the same page regarding potential threats or actions that may arise during the flight. By having this information shared amongst the LEOs and communicated to the PIC, the overall safety and security onboard are significantly improved.
