Thank you for your interest in the George Bush Intercontinental (IAH) Airport Rangers program. The Airport Rangers program was created in December of 2003 with increasing the security of IAH through community participation. Airport Rangers are mounted security patrol made up of volunteers, including off-duty law enforcement officers that ride their horses along the perimeter of the 13,000 acre Bush Intercontinental Airport. In return for keeping an eye out for and reporting any suspicious activity in the area, equestrians have a pristine location, including wooded trails to ride and the airport has extra eyes and ears in areas that most security patrols can not easily access.

All riders are required to fill out an application and undergo background checks. Once the application is approved and background checks are completed, riders will be issued a

photo-identification airport badge giving them access to certain remote airport property. All riders must be equipped with cell phones, so they will be able to call for IAH Security or law enforcement if they spot suspicious activity. Riders are given the phone numbers to call at time of their picking up their photo-identification airport badge. The trails are being well-marked to give points of reference.
