If You See Something, Say Something®

“If You See Something, Say Something®"  is a national campaign that raises public awareness of the indictors of terrorism and terrorism-related crime, as well as the importance of reporting suspicious activity to state and local law enforcement. Suspicious activity is any observed behavior that could indicate terrorism or terrorism-related crime. This includes, but is not limited to, unusual items or situations (i.e. a vehicle is parked in an odd location, a package/bag is unattended, etc.); eliciting information (i.e. inquiries at a level beyond curiosity about a building’s purpose, event dates and time, operations/security procedures and/or personnel, etc.); observation/surveillance (i.e. someone pays unusual attention to facilities or buildings beyond a casual or professional interest, etc.). If you see suspicious activity, report it to the nearest local law enforcement or a person of authority (i.e. Event Manager). Describe specifically what you observed, including who or what you saw; when you saw it; where it occurred; and why it's suspicious.
