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.
