The PSP says it has about 900 police officers assigned to airports and hopes to train about 1,100 by 2025, adding that half of the 324 former SEF officers still stationed at the airports will transfer to PJ in October, reports Pedro Teixeira, PSP deputy national director . which provides a positive balance.
