HOMELAND SECURITY INITIATIVES<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The threat of terrorist incidents in our Nation presents significant planning, training, response, and recovery challenges to the State and local governments. To address these challenges, the Radiation Control Bureau has partnered with the State\u2019s Department of Public Safety\u2019s Motor Transportation Division to develop and implement a statewide radiation and detection capability at port-of-entry (POE) facilities. Presently, there are three POE that are equipped with a radiation detection enhancement. Three POE facilities that are currently monitoring cargo payloads entering the State, are located at Raton (Interstate 25-southbound), Gallup (Interstate 40-eastbount), and San Jon (Interstate 40-westbound). The radiation detection and monitoring programs will allow the State of monitor approximately 1.7 million shipments per year. The placement of these detection systems is strategically enhanced to utilize the resources of law enforcement and inspectors who have been certified as Commercial Vehicle Safety Alliance as Level VI inspectors. Training and \u201cStandard Operating Procedures\u201d have been developed for adjudication of radiation alarms that are generated by any shipment payload.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
