about tactics that are working in Lee County such as threatening to tow all
yehicles andf'or increasing bail for protestor directions to $2,000. Ifthe lock
down tactics of Mississippi Stand and the BAT tactics of Bold Iowa were to join
forces, it would seyerely impact our mission
Next 24 Hours
a. Protestors do not haye a scheduled eyent for the next 24 hours. Howeyer,
Mississippi Stand may attempt a direct action tonight 15 lOct or early tomorrow
morning 16 Oct.
C. Illinois
i. Intel Update
a. A search of social media sites reyealed nothing of new intelligence yalue related
directly to the project in Illinois.
b. Th ere was not enough localized support to hold any protest actiyity in the
Carlinyille, ILarea.
ii. Past 24 Hours
a. Went to the Carlinyille, IL, no protest actiyity was obseryed as earlier discussed
on a social media site. The Hancock County Sheriff?s request is being addressed
by ETP management. Leighton Security, will be procuring a for use around
the Kaskaskia HDD locations for access to remote trails that access the location.
Next 24 Hours
a. Monitoring news sources and social media sites for protest related eyents and
actiyity will be conducted daily.
D. South Dakota
i. Intel Update
a. The schedule for Pheasant shooting hours are noon to sunset for the ?rst week,
and 10:00am to sunset thereafter. Signi?cant because this proyid es 5 hours of
daylight before each day?s hunt begin s--allowing the roying patrols freedom of
man euyer for a longer period than expected. Safety briefs haye continued with
the Silyerton Security Element so as to mitigate the associated risks.
b. Positiye interaction with the Silyerton Guard Force after they haye been in sector
for a number of days. Local patterns haye been obseryed and are starting to be
understood as ?normal actiyities? which makes it significantly easier to identify
abnormal actiyities. The main hindrance is the presence of hunters who don?t fit
either bill.
ii. Past 24 Hours
a. Trayel from the new Hotels to the Spreads is enhanced from the new hotel
locations. The close proximity of the hotels allowed Roying Patrols more time in
sector and therefore better coyerage of the facilities.
