| Keith
G. Medford Special Agent InfraGard Coordinator - FBI kmedford@leo.gov |

Keith Medford (Special Agent & InfraGard Coordinator for the FBI) will address many of the items and surveillance methods utilized by terrorists who have been apprehended by the FBI. Arresting various individuals and attaining data/photos and learning of their initiatives will be displayed in hopes of educating all in attendance of “what to look for” each and every day. In this case study presented by Keith Medford, surveillance had been ongoing for a number of months and not noticed. The photos and data retrieved by the FBI in this case is disturbing and with the appropriate action can be prevented. |
