Flats Closure Project security team was named the DOE's ``Team of the 
Year'' by placing first out of 12 teams representing nuclear facilities 
at the 30th Annual Security Police Officer Training Competition at Oak 
Ridge, TN earlier this month. The Wackenhut Services security police 
officers team competed against a team from the United Kingdom Atomic 
Energy Act Constabulatory, teams from the U.S. Marine Corps and the 
U.S. Air Force, teams from the Office of Transportation Safeguards, and 
law enforcement teams. The competitions tested the teams' skills in 
combat shooting, physical fitness, and tactical obstacle courses. The 
Rocky Flats team demonstrated their ability to respond effectively to a 
situation with superior teamwork and decisiveness.
  I would like to congratulate Rocky Flats Wackenhut Services team 
members Muhtalar Dickson of Aurora, Chris Duran of Denver, Todd 
Harrison of Erie, Randy Irmer of Colorado Springs, Jim Krause of 
Westminister, and Chris Welseler of Highlands Ranch. These Rocky Flats 
employees are currently involved in the cleanup and closure of the 
plant, which involves nuclear material management and shipment, nuclear 
deactivation and decommissioning, waste management and shipment, and 
environmental cleanup and site closure. As always, the employees at 
Rocky Flats are making and keeping Coloradans proud.
