Security officers give all-terrain protection Published Feb. 20, 2009 By Wayne Crenshaw 78th Air Base Wing Public Affairs ROBINS AIR FORCE BASE, Ga. -- One day out of the month, J.B. Toellner and Joe Greene have what a lot of people might consider a dream job. They spend the better part of that day cruising the perimeter of Robins in all-terrain vehicles, motoring through woods and swamp to check security issues. "Yeah, it's fun. Sure it is," said Mr. Toellner, an anti-terrorism officer on base. "I'd be lying if I said different." But it's also serious business. The monthly checks started in October at the direction of Col. Warren Berry, 78th Air Base Wing commander. Mr. Toellner and Mr. Greene, along with a security forces officer, go out together each month to check the perimeter. They are looking for breaks in the fence, uncovered manholes and anything else that might indicate potential for a security breach. Mr. Toellner said they have found some problems in their checks, but nothing to indicate that any suspicious activity was afoot. "It serves that purpose to make sure our areas are secured, but the second purpose is for those who may be watching, they see that we are being a little more proactive," Mr. Toellner said. "When we are out riding, we wear vests that say 'security police' on them so that it's obvious who it is." Mr. Toellner urges everyone who works at Robins to do their part for base security by keeping an eye out for any suspicious activity. What qualifies as suspicious activity? Basically, anything that's out of the ordinary. He has an acronym for that - JDLR. "Just Don't Look Right," he explained. "If it just don't look right, report it. We would rather people report it when it's nothing rather than not report it when it's something." The number to call to report any suspicious activity on or around the base is 926-EYES.
