LPA explained the purpose for the visit and was greeted and granted entry by staff on duty. During the visit, staff on duty contacted the facility administrator (AD) Mark Mendez about the visit. For this visit, there are two staff members on duty, both of which are background cleared and associated. AD later arrived to assist with the inspection.
