Amtrak Employees Failed to List Felony Convictions

Based on information received by Amtrak CEO Joseph Boardman, the OIG, Amtrak Police Department, and Amtrak management coordinated an investigation of illegal drug and alcohol use on Amtrak trains. No alcohol or drug use was found; however, the investigation disclosed that several on-board service employees failed to list felony convictions as required on their employment applications, and background checks were not conducted on some on-board service employees.
