SAFTEY - PLEASE READ
Posted: Thu Nov 10, 2011 6:43 am
To all:
This is a very serious matter here on the Texas-Mexican border, for your safety and the safety of your crews, please take this serious and discuss this with your field personal, it is a everyday occurrence along our borders and maybe just that one occasion in your area that could have been avoided.
This photo was taken by a field crew with their cell phone, please do not ever take any photos or get this close, the Cocaine wars in Mexico should be treated with more care then stumbling up on a mother grizzly in the woods.
After speaking with a friend that works Border Patrol for this area. It is recommended for any field personal that should see something like this to:
1. Do not take photos, remain calm, do not point it out to others
2. Quietly notify others to get all equipment and return to vehicle in calm and organized manner.
3. Leave the scene (job site) as quick as possible and notify Border Patrol or other officials, do not return to the scene for any reason.
4. It is also recommended not to return to that job or any in the area for a long period of time. (managers will need to postpone the project, or change crews)
If the Cartel decides it was your fault this shipment did not go through, they will try to find you. Typically if the Cartel feels this could have been avoided, the person in Mexico who was the runner for this product will be publicly executed just inside the Mexican Border as an example.
It is also recommended, that employees do not drive vehicles or wear clothing with company logos or any other identifiable marks.
