method.
1. Th ev specialize in cutting protestors out of lockdown methods safer and

On Point Securitv guards from the Redfield Pu mp Station reported that at
approximater 10:30 this morning a Green Chevrolet Suburban, SD plates,
-, approached the Redfield Pump Station from the vvest at a slovv rate of
speed. As the vehicle passed bv the Pump Station it turned into the east
entrance. The guards moved their vehicle from the vvest side and encountered
the Green Suburban as it vvas stopped inside the vvest entrance. When informed
that thev vvere on private propertv the guards asked vvhat thev vvanted . The tvvo
men stated thev vvere ?ju st looking around?, thev then left and headed back to
the vvest tovvards Highvvav US 181. The tvvo men vvere of medium height and
vveight, middle age, vvith dark complexions. One had grev hair and the other vvas
mostlv bald vvith a goatee. It is believed thev were of American Indian descent,
as thev were not black, Indian or appear to be Hispanic. Because ofthe unusual
speed at vvhich the car traveled the road, thefact that it has not been seen
before and the attempt to enter the Redfield Pump Station, it is believed that
this vvas a reconnaissance ofthe position and it?s securitv capacities. The
assumption should be made that personnel kn ovv vvhere the pump
station is and the fact that it is not stronglv protected {ie vvith barriers}. The
fence line around the Pump Station appears to be complete atthis time. It is
suggested that a copv of the Threat Assessment that vvas made bv Silverton
personnel be made available to South Dakota securitv forces so that
considerations of the recommendations can be revievved.

discuss these matters with vou?, the guard then provided contact information to
the SD On Point PM. The man then moved offin a northeasterlv direction,
presumava in the direction of 'v'alve SD65. The man tried to call the SD On Point
PM, but as he was on the phone with the guard, the message vvent to voicemail.
When he retrieved the voicemail, the SD PM contacted Tiger vaan Intel assets
for an assessment of Sara; Tomlin. The Spread 6Team Leader was informed that
the individual would soon been in his sector. Movement of Spread ETeam was
conducted so as to intercept andx'or observe Garv Tomlin?s movement through
the South Dakota sector.
c. The Spread Steam leader approached Garv Tomlin at SD 50 and asked for
identification. He produced a motor vehicle driver?s license and it was recorded
on camera, the car and the license plate were also photographed. During this
interaction the Spread Steam Leader observed a map that the individual was
marking vvith pipeline information as to valve locations. He had apparentlv
missed the Launch and Receiver site that is close called
Garv Tomlin and informed him that he should contact 'v?ickv Granado, The ETP
media relations manager. He was thankful for the information and stated that he
was interested in intervievving securitv personnel when he arrived at the camp in
North Dakota. It is mv belief that San; Tomlin is hiding his true intentions and
that he has a plethora ofinformation to provideto the protesters. It is estimated
that he will arrive in North Dakota on the evening of the 4th or morning of the
5th.
d. The Dailv Plainsman nevvspaper had tvvo articles todav on the pipeline. It is
entitled, ?If Dakota Access pipeline were to move, Where would it go?? The
article starts off stating that President Obama has raised the possibilitv of a
reroute ofthe four?state Dakota Access pipeline. It appears to be a fairlv balance
vievvpoint on the su bject, but bv it sheer mention of the possibilitv it could verv
vvell be vievved as a ?victorv? and open the door to more talk about a re?route.
The second article was entitled, ?Clergv join in Dakota Access pipeline protesters
for ceremonv?. The article gives the impression that ?clergv? are joining the
cause and therefore it legitimatizes it, but the onlv clergv discussed or quoted
are from tribal connections. This article is an opportunitv for protesters to
