DUGWAY Proving Grounds MP trainig NCO, SSG Mike Rowzee is doing something about it.

Most worked as individuals and enjoyed learning how to better utilize other police officers as a team. They thought that ever police officer in the state should be required to take this course whether they had a SWAT team or not. All of them said that Rowzee was an excellent instructor, one commented, Im really glad he is on our side. profiles, camouflage, boobytraps, rappelling, hostage negotiations, the use of special SWAT equipment, and provide trainig, but officers must practice ra their own. To illustrate this he said, A tennis instructor teaches the rules to a student and shows Him how to hold the racket, but the tennis student cannot leamunless he practices. DUGWAY, like other chemical storage and testing areas, is susceptible to terrorists because of its mission and location. The post is extremely isolated and does not have the protection of a nearby civilian police force, as our neighbor Tooele Army Depot enjoys. Therefore, there has been enough concern about the security in our area to warrant a SWAT team. SWAT instructor, Rowzee, received . The Office of Personnel Management has issued a firm policy statement arid definition on sexual harassment of employees of the Federal government. The statement was included in a memorandum to heads of departments and independent agencies from OPM Director Alan-KCampbell. The memo urged agencies to: issue a strong statement clearly 12 120 died.

Lets say an organized ter- ror group somehow got into a secured area and took someone hostage. After security was notified the area would be sealed off. The terrorists would make their demands and as the incident develped, there would be two perimeters et up and the incident site would be isolated. One perimeter would hold the terrorist and one would them from getting outtraining and information from the side aid.prevent The team would then SWAT FBI, the Los Angeles city and county SWAT teams.

The hardest part of the Job is waiting for everything to arrive at the same time so we can start building. And was this one of the biggests projects? Oh no, asserts Curry, weve handled things five times as big as this. TO USE: SWAT teams - needed now more than ever test the vulnerability of protective -- V -- Federal employees have a grave responsibility under the Federal code of conduct and ethics for maintaining high standards ofhonesty, integrity, impartiality and conduct to assure proper performance of the governments business and maintenance of confidence of the American people. Any employee conduct which violates this code cannot be condoned. Sexual harassment is a form of employee misconduct which undermines the. integrity of . the employment relationship. All employees must be al- lowed to work in an environment free froftftmsolicited and unwelcome sexual overtures. Sexual harassment debilitates morale and interferes in the work productivity of its victims and coworkers. Sexual harassment is a prohibited personnel practice when it results in discrimination for or.against an employee on the basis of conduct not related to performance, such as the taking or refusal to take a personnel ac- tion, including promotion of employees who submit to sexual advances or refusal to promote em- - ployees who resist or protest sexual overtures. Specifically, sexual harassment is deliberate or repeated unsolicited verbal comments, gestures, or physical contact of a sexual nature which are unwelcome. Within the Federal government, a supervisor who uses implicit or explicit coercive sexual behavior to control, influence, or affect the career, salary, or job of an employee is engaging in sexual harassment. Similarly, an employee of an agency who behaves in this manner in the process of conducting agency business is engaging in sexual harassment.
