Who is responsible for receiving found property on the ramp according to the policy described?

• A. Airport Police Duty Officers at LAX Security Access Post #2
• B. The security camera operator
• C. The aircraft captain
• D. The ground supervisor

Answer: (A)

Found property on the ramp is handled by the airport’s security procedures, which designate the Airport Police Duty Officer at LAX Security Access Post #2 as the official person to receive it. This ensures an official, traceable process: the item is logged, secured, and a search for its owner can be conducted if possible. Keeping found items with security at the post preserves the chain of custody and protects against loss or misuse in the busy ramp environment. The other roles aren’t set up to receive and document found property: the security camera operator monitors footage, the aircraft captain is focused on flight operations, and the ground supervisor manages operations rather than acting as the official property custodian.
