Resources

We all play a role in keeping our communities safe. It’s easy to be distracted during our daily routines such as going to work, school, or the grocery store, but as you’re going about your day, if you see something that doesn’t seem quite right, say something. Report the suspicious activity to local authorities, so they can determine if it's harmless, or something more serious.

Check out these documents, videos, links, and training opportunities to help raise public awareness of the signs of terrorism and terrorism-related crime, and learn how to report suspicious activity to local law enforcement.
