LAX has their own police force DCA/IAD have their own police force JFK/LGA/EWR (and some smaller airports) fall under the NY/NJ Port Authority Police who have policing powers in NY and NJ.

These cops are full-fledged police officers.

Having documented the NY/NJ PAPD a number of times, I know the PAPD cops have a hard job with a lot of ground to cover, not just the airports. An additional duty of PAPD airport officers is that many are also crash-rescue firefighters. The PAPD is also the fire service at the airports they cover (nice slogan of guns-n-hoses)
