Uncle Sam's House Detectives: GSA's Civilian Crime Unit
NEA Statt Correspondent profiles the General Services Administration Office of Compliance and Security. Baron Shacklette leads six investigators who handle thefts from federal buildings, gambling cases, hidden cameras uncovering thefts, and sensitive personnel matters, with a focus on discreet, behind the scenes work. The unit tracks thefts from typewriters to parking lots, and even dictionary theft for Bible study use. One case involves eggs looted from a cafeteria and slips found with a suspect, while a multi-year fountain-pen theft ended with a charwoman caught on camera and 2 china sets and 500 rolls of toilet paper recovered. The team prefers quiet, efficient work and turns information over to the U.S. Attorney when appropriate. India reportedly supplies 70 to 80 percent of the world’s mica, about 54,888,000 pounds a year.
