Amazon drivers are timed, and tracked in many ways.
When I am out front, they will take the package to my door, take a picture rather than hand it to me right there due to strict rules.
If he called 911 could he be fired?
Can he call dispatch and tell them without missing his next deadline?

Honestly, why would he call the LEOs? It's none of his business, he made his delivery. If he did call LEO, 1 if 2 things is gonna happen. 1) they don't do anything, and he wastes 15 minutes of his time for nothing. 2) they do send someone, they question him, possibly ask for a statement, waste atleast 2 hours of his time, again for nothing.

I thought he saw a suspected crime occurring. I've always felt obligated to report crimes to Law Enforcement as a law abiding citizen. If my neighbor sees somebody breaking windows out of my barn and he does nothing, I would not be happy.

^^^^ Did a tour of the Virginia Military Institute (aka "Westpoint of the South") a few weeks back.
VMI has a very simple honor code:
"A Cadet will not lie, cheat, steal, nor tolerate those who do."
It's brilliantly crisp...and cuts to the core quickly...

Is it safe to assume that those pictures are immediately transmitted back to the dispatch center? Maybe take a photo of the suspect vehicle making sure to get a good shot of the license plate?
If I were a customer who'd been victim of a porch pirate and discovered the delivery driver saw the suspected perp and didn't do anything I'd be p/o'ed to say the least.

Why do you capitalize the words “law enforcement”? Just curious

I understand that, but if you have ever reported a crime, that didn't really involve you, I think you will learn the lesson.
I have reported several over the years. Last one, pull into vacant lot to eat lunch, and pee; see a chopped up, new, Honda motorcycle hidden behind a bush. Call LEOs, they ask like 20 questions, and tell me to wait until their officer arrives. I waited an hour, and just left. I didn't "witness" anything, and it wasted a significant amount of my work day. If I had waited on the officer, it couple have been several more hours waiting, and then the whole "why where you here" "how did you know to look where it was hidden" and all that BS.
Anymore, I don't report anything that isn't an active hazard. Last two calls have been cows out on roadway (not my neighborhood, just driving at work).
