Bureau Of Reclamation Joins Crime Witness Program Two federal agencies have joined Ibices in a crim e-fighting alliance designed to increase the reliability ol the Northwest’ s electricity system The B o n n e v ille Pow er A d m in is tra tio n 's neighborhood watch-style crime prevention pro gram expanded this month to include facilities owned by the Bureau ol Reclamation. "The alliance is a very natural fit. Both agencies see the alliance as the beginning ol a region-wide federal initiative in community policing. The ultimate beneficiaries are the c iti zens o f the region," said Mike Berg, manager of BPA's Crime Witness program. "We are joining BPA in this effort to combat crime and help to deter possible instances o f vandalism at our facilities in the Pacific North west," said Mark A lb i, the Bureau s regional security coordinator. "Both agencies are optim istic that this part nership w ill be successlul anil pro vide the right incentive to light crime." The Bureau manages 10 major dams and associated power plants located in the Pacific Northwest. Along with the responsibility o f man aging these facilities comes (lie task o f keeping them secure from vandal ism. The faci lilies owned and operated by BPA and the Bureau are major components o f the integrated Fed eral Columbia River Power System (FCRPS). Vandalism, theft or other criminal activity on BPA substations, transmission lines anil microwave communication systems can directly affect Bureau projects. Similarcrinies on Bureau projects can at le d BPA s operations as well "A ny initiative that enhances the operational reliability, or reduces the operating costs ol one partner in the FCRPS, benefits everyone else,” Berg added. “ It just makes good busi ness sense for us to combine scarce security resources in a constructive ami mutually beneficial manner." The Crime Witness Program o i lers cash rewards o f up Io $ 1,000 for information leading to the arrest and conviction o f persons com m itting crimes against BPA’ s transmission system, property or personnel. Since 1994, the program has generated hundreds o f telephone tips resulting in dozens o f arrests.
