Random checks stepped up
at gates of U.S. weapons lab
LOS ALAMOS, New Mexico, March 23, 2012—Los Alamos National Laboratory began implementing several changes to its security procedures on Friday, March 16.
The most prominent change is the increase of random inspections of all vehicles transiting the Laboratory, to include West and East Jemez Roads and roadways leading to the main Laboratory administrative area, Technical Area 3.
The changes are a result of recommendations made during a recent review of Laboratory protective measures by a joint Department of Defense and Department of Energy security assessment.
"We have always had the ability to do random inspections," said Jack Killeen, Security Services division leader. "We have expanded the areas for those random inspections and increased their frequency. Drivers will see an increased presence of the Protective Force — our uniformed security officers — and we'll be using bomb-sniffing dogs."
