Reclamation Police Officers were stationed only at Hoover Dam.[1] Hoover Dam was both listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1981, and was designated a National Historic Landmark in 1985.[2][3] Hoover Dam has been designated as National Critical Infrastructure. The primary responsibilities of the Hoover Dam Police Officer were to protect the dam, the world's 57th-largest hydroelectric generating station, which provides about 2,080 megawatts,[4] its associated structures, and to safeguard the lives of visitors and employees. The Hoover Dam Police were 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. ClosureOn October 1, 2017 the Hoover Dam Police Department was closed[5] and the National Park Service took over law enforcement duties for the Hoover Dam. National Park Service Rangers from Lake Mead National Recreation Area now provide comprehensive federal law enforcement and emergency services for the facility and its visitors. The Bureau of Reclamation has assigned an armed Security Response Force to provide physical security for the facility. Security concernsBecause of the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks, the Hoover Dam Bypass project was expedited and traffic across the dam was restricted.[6] Some types of vehicles were inspected prior to crossing the dam while semi-trailer trucks, buses carrying luggage, and enclosed-box trucks over {{convert|40|ft|m}} long were not allowed on the dam at all.[7] 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.[8] Hoover-Mead Security ZoneThe Hoover-Mead Security Zone encompasses {{convert|22|sqmi|km2|sigfig=2}} around Hoover Dam and Lake Mead; before the opening of the bypass, this included {{convert|3.3|mi|km|0}} of U.S. Highway 93 (US 93).[9][10] Vehicles had to pass through inspection checkpoints, located on US 93 {{convert|1|mi|km|spell=in}} north of the dam in Nevada, and {{convert|9|mi|km|spell=in}} south of the dam in Arizona, before crossing. With the opening of the bypass, traffic patterns changed dramatically. Through traffic no longer goes through a checkpoint on either side of the river. On the Nevada side, the dam road now branches off US 93 before the checkpoint, which remains in operation to screen dam visitors. On the Arizona side, the road across the dam dead-ends in parking lots, no longer connecting to US 93. This made the Arizona checkpoint unnecessary.[8] The Nevada checkpoint is manned by armed Bureau of Reclamation Security Guards plus contracted private security personnel, as was the Arizona checkpoint before its closing. Personnel at the checkpoint may inspect any vehicle at any time before it is allowed to pass through and cross the dam. OrganizationHeadquartered in Boulder City, Nevada. Popular culture
