Former Washington State Patrol (WSP) officer Kim Triplett-Kolerich now works for Bank of America as the company's "West Region" Senior Crime and US Intelligence Analyst. She's based in downtown Seattle.

Here's what she does with her time, according to an email she wrote to WSP in November, unearthed by public records activist Andrew Hendricks:

From time to time I will see items that I believe will be of use to my friends at WSP - especially during session. May Day I will pick your brain for intel and I will give you a lot also - the Public-Private Partnership worked great last year and hopefully being ahead of the Anarchists will protect all of you from the protests/arrests/injury.
If you find any intel on Anarchists or Occupy Protesters please let me know - I will most likely find it first as Social Media trolling is not what the WSP does best - Bank of America has a team of 20 people and that's all they do all day and then pass it to us around the country!!"

This isn't the first time Bank of America has been accused of hiring private "intelligence" agents to identify, track, and undermine political activists.
