The Lab will conduct a Basic Security Officer Training course beginning Monday, March 14 and concluding March 21. The course is a DOE National Training Center requirement and will occur from 7:00 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. outside Building 45, and Fire Bays 4 and 5.
Be advised that while no weapons will be on site, the training does utilize realistic props, such as facsimile guns and knives, which will be marked distinctly. While LBNL security officers do not carry weapons of any kind, this DOE-required training helps our officers effectively defend themselves and others should the need arise.
Signs will be up around the training area, and UCPD is aware of the scope and duration of the training.
If you have questions or need further information about the training exercises, please contact Blair Edwards at bedwards@lbl.gov or (510) 365-5628.
