00:00:00.030 --> 00:00:06.870
Scenario Three: Office Visit, Probation Officer

2
00:00:03.449 --> 00:00:08.760
You are a probation officer who

3
00:00:06.870 --> 00:00:11.160
calls a female probationer in for a

4
00:00:08.760 --> 00:00:13.830
drug screen urine screen analysis at

5
00:00:11.160 --> 00:00:16.250
your office. She has a prior history of

6
00:00:13.830 --> 00:00:19.230
drug offenses, prostitution, and fraud.

7
00:00:16.250 --> 00:00:21.180
When she arrives her appearance has

8
00:00:19.230 --> 00:00:21.869
changed dramatically since your last

9
00:00:21.180 --> 00:00:24.960
meeting.

10
00:00:21.869 --> 00:00:27.689
She has shaved her head, and she has

11
00:00:24.960 --> 00:00:32.430
multiple tattoos, including the letters

12
00:00:27.689 --> 00:00:36.480
"ROA" (an acronym for "Race Over All") on her

13
00:00:32.430 --> 00:00:37.649
right hand, and the number "88" (symbolic of

14
00:00:36.480 --> 00:00:40.320
the words Heil Hitler)

15
00:00:37.649 --> 00:00:44.309
on her ankle. She is wearing a t-shirt

16
00:00:40.320 --> 00:00:45.649
that says "Max Resist" (a white power

17
00:00:44.309 --> 00:00:48.960
rock-and-roll band),

18
00:00:45.649 --> 00:00:51.239
cargo pants, and combat boots.

19
00:00:48.960 --> 00:00:53.760
She is quite compliant with your

20
00:00:51.239 --> 00:00:55.890
questions, but makes a racist comment

21
00:00:53.760 --> 00:00:56.969
when a fellow probation officer who is

22
00:00:55.890 --> 00:01:00.030
african-american

23
00:00:56.969 --> 00:01:02.070
walks past your desk. You learned that

24
00:01:00.030 --> 00:01:03.989
she is now working at a photo shop, and

25
00:01:02.070 --> 00:01:04.769
that she has a new interest in the

26
00:01:03.989 --> 00:01:07.229
military.

27
00:01:04.769 --> 00:01:09.990
She talks at great length about her new

28
00:01:07.229 --> 00:01:11.689
army of friends, many of whom claim to

29
00:01:09.990 --> 00:01:13.890
have served in the military. She

30
00:01:11.689 --> 00:01:16.140
indicates they are teaching her to

31
00:01:13.890 --> 00:01:18.780
protect herself and "her way of life"

32
00:01:16.140 --> 00:01:22.380
during weekend seminars that include

33
00:01:18.780 --> 00:01:24.479
extensive physical training. She asks you

34
00:01:22.380 --> 00:01:26.220
if it is a violation of her probation to

35
00:01:24.479 --> 00:01:28.619
participate in events at a local

36
00:01:26.220 --> 00:01:31.259
"paintball" recreational park. She says the

37
00:01:28.619 --> 00:01:33.210
weapons they use are not real. You do

38
00:01:31.259 --> 00:01:34.950
some research about the location of this

39
00:01:33.210 --> 00:01:37.590
park and discover that a few years

40
00:01:34.950 --> 00:01:39.450
earlier, several subjects belonging to

41
00:01:37.590 --> 00:01:42.390
the Skinheads were arrested there for

42
00:01:39.450 --> 00:01:44.399
possession of illegal weapons. You write

43
00:01:42.390 --> 00:01:46.500
a report documenting your observations

44
00:01:44.399 --> 00:01:48.390
and speak to your supervisor about

45
00:01:46.500 --> 00:01:51.600
forwarding the information to local law

46
00:01:48.390 --> 00:01:53.220
enforcement. Again this scenario

47
00:01:51.600 --> 00:01:54.720
emphasizes the importance of

48
00:01:53.220 --> 00:01:57.600
understanding the behaviors and

49
00:01:54.720 --> 00:01:59.759
indicators associated with the NSI and

50
00:01:57.600 --> 00:02:03.240
their applicability to your official

51
00:01:59.759 --> 00:02:05.430
duties. In this instance the probationer

52
00:02:03.240 --> 00:02:08.250
may be the subject of recruitment into a

53
00:02:05.430 --> 00:02:09.840
gang or an extremist group. While the

54
00:02:08.250 --> 00:02:12.300
activities like these may not be

55
00:02:09.840 --> 00:02:13.900
criminal, they are suspicious. The

56
00:02:12.300 --> 00:02:15.819
totality of the circumstances

57
00:02:13.900 --> 00:02:18.519
makes the reporting of this

58
00:02:15.819 --> 00:02:20.650
event important, as it may indicate

59
00:02:18.519 --> 00:02:23.049
pre-operational planning activities with a

60
00:02:20.650 --> 00:02:26.189
potential Nexus to terrorism or other
criminal activity.
