What is the purpose of the RAPBack program?

The RAPBack program serves a critical function in maintaining airport security by notifying relevant authorities if a badge holder is arrested. This is particularly important for ensuring that individuals who have been granted access to secure areas of an airport remain suitable for that access. By automatically reporting arrests, the program helps airports monitor the ongoing eligibility of their personnel who have obtained security badges, thus enhancing overall safety and risk management within the airport environment.

In contrast, tracking employee attendance, providing immediate access to facilities, or recording on-the-job injuries do not relate to the core function of maintaining security based on an individual's legal standing. These options focus on operational aspects that, while important, do not address the primary intent of the RAPBack program related to criminal activity and security compliance.
