PAGE, Arizona - Officials from the Bureau of Reclamation's Upper Colorado Region, in partnership with federal, state, local and county law enforcement agencies, conducted a security exercise at Glen Canyon Dam facilities today.
Residents and visitors may have seen and heard emergency flashing lights and sirens leading to and at dam facilities, however, there was no actual emergency or danger to the public. The lights and sirens were in conjunction with the exercise.
Reclamation operations and security officials train with law enforcement officials to ensure positive outcomes to possibly adverse incidents and to build strong working relationships within the surrounding communities.
“Reclamation works and trains with our partners in law enforcement to prepare for any security situation that could threaten safety and operations at Glen Canyon Dam facilities," said Jason Tucker, Glen Canyon Dam Facility Manager.
“The exercise went really well today," said Ron Anderson, Security Specialist. “It was a great opportunity to train with other emergency professionals in our community. We will continue to train with them to ensure that we maintain our high standards of safety and security at Glen Canyon Dam facilities."
