The suspect caught Ken's attention because he remembered seeing him taking pictures in Morgan, Texas, the day before. Ken carefully watched from a distance. The male subject continued to follow and monitor trains traveling south on the Fort Worth Subdivision. Ken decided to contact the BNSF Resource Protection Special Agents in Temple, Texas. Robert Pounds and Suzanne Jaroch, both senior special agents, located the subject in McGregor, Texas. <br /> <br />The suspect was questioned and it was then determined that he had been contacted earlier by local law enforcement agencies and that he was from the Boston area. After questioning him, agents verified his response with the agency. However, his responses were different from those given when previously contacted by local law enforcements. So they began a search of his vehicle and found several cameras, a scanner, a laptop and other recording equipment. <br /> <br />He was warned again that his observed behavior was suspicious in nature and he was told to stay away from BNSF property. He was also referred to the Federal Bureau of Investigation Homeland Security in Boston. <br /> <br />Ken received a BNSF "On Guard" award for his response on this individual. <br /> <br />Anyone who notices anything suspicious should call 1-800-832-5452. However, employees should never take action on their own if they spot a possible problem -- they should always call their local Resource Protection agents. <br /> <br />For more information on the On Guard program, go to the Resource Protection Intranet site and click Protection Solutions.[/quote]
