The Security Perimeter is intended to protect the Laboratory against the possibility of terrorist attacks. At each point of the perimeter, access is controlled by Vehicle Access Portals (VAPs) at: Note: A change in security condition may necessitate changes in Laboratory access with little or no notice. Road signs and the presence of Protective Force officers will alert drivers of such changes. What's New: Random Vehicle InspectionsEffective March 2012, random vehicle inspections will begin at the East and West Jemez Road Vehicle Access Portals (VAPs). Everyone, including members of the public, who enter the Laboratory through the East and West Jemez VAPs must cooperate with the Protective Force if called upon for a vehicle search. Drivers notified of an inspection should move to the search area indicated. An inspection team, including canine, will inspect the entire vehicle, including items being towed. Upon completion, drivers will either be given permission to proceed or their vehicles secured as necessary. Anyone who refuses a search will be requested to turn around and will be routed through West Road or NM 4. Click here for the Enhanced Security Measures brochure (pdf). Explosive Detection Canine PatrolsThe parking areas or structures at the Laboratory will continue to have explosive detection canine patrols. If a canine detects a threat, the Protective Force as necessary will re-route traffic or cordon off the area until an explosives team determines it is safe for re-entry. Random Package InspectionsRandom package inspections will continue throughout the Laboratory. Workers are reminded to cooperate with and follow the instructions of the Protective Force. Truck Inspection Station (Post 10)Pajarito Corridor Deliveries Drivers of all non-government commercial delivery trucks, privately-owned RVs, large vehicles, etc. headed to the Pajarito Corridor (Pajarito Road bounded by NM Highway 4 and Diamond Drive) must stop at Post 10 for truck inspections. Drivers will then need to present time-stamped inspection passes from Post 10 to Protective Force officers stationed at the Pajarito Corridor. (Drivers exiting Post 10 should turn right and proceed west on the Truck Route, turn left onto West Jemez Road, drive through Lane 7 of the VAPs (stop required), turn left onto Diamond Drive, and then turn left onto Pajarito Road.) TA-16 Explosive Deliveries No change in current practice. All Other Deliveries Drivers of commercial delivery trucks headed outside the Pajarito Corridor, to the SM30 Warehouse, and other Laboratory need to stop at Post 10 to obtain truck inspection passes. Drivers of such trucks may proceed to their final destination. Click here to view a map of Post 10 (pdf). More InformationContact spp-questions@lanl.gov. |
