Engagement Memo—Safety and Security: Oversight and Coordination of Private Security Contractors

We are initiating an audit of Amtrak’s private security contractors. Our objective will be to assess the effectiveness of Amtrak’s oversight and coordination of private security contractors, systemwide. We may expand our scope or modify our objective during the audit. During the audit, we plan to interview company officials responsible for oversight of third-party security contractors, assess related policies, documents, and procedures, as well as review relevant company data. We will work to minimize disruptions to the company by coordinating meetings with staff in advance.
