Officials from the Laboratory, National Nuclear Security Administration and Los Alamos County were on hand to celebrate the opening of the Consolidated Dispatch Center at Los Alamos' Emergency Operations Center at Technical Area 69. Shown left to right are Pat Torpy, wife of Los Alamos Police Chief Wayne Torpy, Gerry Schlapper of the NNSA Los Alamos Site Office and Craig Leasure, principal deputy associate director for security and facility operations (ADSFO). Seated at the dispatch console is Tina Archuleta of Los Alamos County. The Consolidated Dispatch Center is a collaboration between the NNSA, the Lab and Los Alamos County, and it was funded through Cerro Grande appropriation funds. One of the goals of the new dispatch center is to have all of the emergency management functions under one roof with the Laboratory, including the Los Alamos Police Department, Los Alamos Fire Department, Los Alamos County and the Lab's fire alarm system, which includes alarm testing and maintenance.
