the Executive
Order issued by the ND Governor, and the alleged shooting down of “Myron Dewey’s”
drone could likely increase tensions between security personnel and camp residents,
However the FAA is looking into Mryon Dewey’s actions.
ND’s Governor issued an Executive Order at 1705 on Wednesday, 15th of February
2017, for protesters to evacuate Camp 2 by 22 FEB 2017, due to the risk of flooding
and the required clean-up. LE has appropriated approximately 80 units to clear the
camp.
Protesters will be continually monitored to observe if they are all migrating from
Camp 2. The protesters who stay are violating the Executive Order and may be
preparing for LEs arrival, likely for propaganda material collection and dissemination
on social media during and following the anticipated clearing of Camp 2.

Intel Update
a. The radio chatter calling for an attack at dawn, with no significant
actions, may be a result of the stress protesters are feeling.
Additionally, protestors, via social media live feeds, consistently blame
security personnel for blocking/interrupting electronic communication.
The radio message regarding an attack, with no incident and a
subsequent protestor drone launch at the proposed time of ‘attack’,
could be an attempt to discern if security personnel are intercepting
radio communications and to observe responses from LE, NG, and DAPL
Security.

iii. Past 24 Hours
a. LE constructed a jersey barrier checkpoint on the Southside of the North
Bridge on Hwy 1806, to be opened to emergency traffic only. At 1503,
eleven protesters congregated at the barricade construction site and
interacted with LE. By 1511, fiver vehicles and 10-20 more protesters
arrived. Interactions were broadcasted on multiple social media live
feeds, with LE deescalating the situation.
b. ND Governor issues an Executive Order at 1705 for protesters to
evacuate Camp 2 by 22 FEB 2017 due to the risk of flooding and the

officers available as their conditions exist. Recommended to
of SUNOCO to use On Point for a 48 or 72-hour contract. They
are local, familiar with the area and have a pool in which to draw from
in a short notice situation. And, in conversation with LT Ellis of the Story
County Sheriff’s Office, she stated the SCSO is familiar with On Point and
had no problems working with them. 
b. Met with
the security manager of Vermeer, in Pella, IA.
Vermeer has no security responsibilities for the pipeline in the state of
Iowa, other than an equipment company providing heavy equipment.
The drill being used by DAOPL under the Missouri River belongs to them.
Vermeer has a large 200-300-acre compound right outside of Pella, with
no existing fencing, and company executives expressed no desire to
further harden the area. Recommendations were made to
to
contact the Pella Police Department, suggesting more aggressive
patrolling that day and to increase their number of security guards from
the existing 1-2. Vermeer has CCTV on premises and will cut the Guest
WIFI if the protesters get on site and try to use it to broadcast their
activities live on FB.  Also, suggested to
that he enter a 48-72hour contract with On Point for additional security.
