Key Accomplishments:

A person of interest entered the USPTO unauthorized. Upon gaining access, the individual confiscated five thousand dollars’ worth of government property.

He tried to exit the building with the property from an exit other than the loading dock, which is the normal delivery procedure.

I approached him using preventive security measures and asked him for a delivery receipt or a property pass. He was unable to present either one.

I then asked him how and where he gained access to the building. He responded by saying that he followed another employee through a delivery point. Upon questioning, the person of interest admitted that he was stealing property and taking it to his car.

I apprehended him using proper procedures when detaining someone for breach of security under the HSPD-12 guidelines.

He was arrested by the Federal Protective Service, immediately taken to the US Court House in Arlington, Virginia, for a hearing before the magistrate; a court date was set.
