Hoover Dam Police
The Hoover Dam Police, officially the Bureau of Reclamation Police, is a federal police force, stationed at Hoover Dam southeast of Las Vegas, Nevada. Reclamation Police Officers are stationed only at Hoover Dam.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://olesem.doi.gov/jobs/fields/borpoliceofficer.html )〕 Hoover Dam was both listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1981, and was designated a National Historic Landmark in 1985.〔 (Includes informative drawing of how the dam works) and 〕 Hoover Dam has been designated as National Critical Infrastructure. The primary responsibilities of the Hoover Dam Police Officer are to protect the dam, the world's 57th-largest hydroelectric generating station, which provides about 2080 megawatts, its associated structures, and to safeguard the lives of visitors and employees. The Hoover Dam Police are assisted by unarmed Bureau of Reclamation Security Guards who control access to reclamation facilities and deter individuals who might consider criminal activities or terrorist acts.
==Security concerns==
Because of the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks, the Hoover Dam Bypass project was expedited and traffic across the dam was restricted.〔 "After Sept. 11, 2001, more than 2,000 trucks a day have been diverted away from the dam."〕 Some types of vehicles were inspected prior to crossing the dam while semi-trailer trucks, buses carrying luggage, and enclosed-box trucks over long were not allowed on the dam at all. That traffic was diverted south to a Colorado River bridge at Laughlin, Nevada. Once the bypass opened on October 19, 2010, all through traffic was rerouted on it; the roadway on the dam is now open only to employees and dam visitors.
