This week saw the start of increased patrols at Newcastle International Airport ahead of the start of the Football World Cup.
As part of the United Kingdom Football Policing Unit strategy to prevent disorder at the event they have funded Northumbria Police to conduct a ports operation from Monday June 7 until England are eliminated from the competition.
The operation consists of additional Northumbria police officers in uniform and plain clothes based airside at Newcastle Airport daily.
They are there to prevent known football risk supporters with Football Banning Orders from travelling to the World Cup and to provide reassurance to genuine fans who travel.
Chief Inspector Jackie Clark of Northumbria Police's Operations Command said: "At present Northumbria Police currently monitors a total of 163 people who are subject to Football Banning Orders.
"Anyone who was subject to a banning order on June 1, 2010, was obliged to surrender their passport for the duration of the World Cup, preventing them from travelling to South Africa for the tournament.
"They will also be required to report to their designated police station on the day of any England fixture.
"We take enforcement action against those people who breach their banning orders and specialist football officers will be based at Newcastle International Airport during the World Cup to deter, detect and apprehend any individual intending to attend the event to engage in violence or disorder.
"Northumbria Police will be strictly enforcing any breach of football banning orders. If any of those subject to an order fail to adhere to the conditions of their football banning order they will be arrested."
Football Banning Orders range from three to ten years. They can be issued to people who are convicted of a relevant football-related offence or who persistently engage in violence and disorder at football matches.
Anyone with information about a person breaching their Football Banning Order should contact Northumbria Police on 03456 043 043 or the Football Banning Orders Authority (FBOA) on 020 7785 7183.
