00:00:04.870 --> 00:00:11.360
The United States of America
is home to over 330 million people.

00:00:11.360 --> 00:00:17.170
We are a country known for
freedom, justice, and opportunity.

00:00:17.170 --> 00:00:21.900
The American dream draws people from
across the globe, bringing different

5
00:00:21.900 --> 00:00:28.300
cultures, traditions and ideas to
the fabric of our great nation.

[scary music]

7
00:00:30.740 --> 00:00:34.170
At the same time, there are
individuals in the United States

8
00:00:34.170 --> 00:00:37.560
who seek to carry out acts of
terrorism and violence against

9
00:00:37.560 --> 00:00:40.900
our communities and our country.

14
00:01:39.260 --> 00:01:43.100
Hello. Listen, I don't know if
this is anything, but what I just

15
00:01:43.100 --> 00:01:47.600
saw looked really suspicious -
definitely out of the ordinary.

16
00:01:47.600 --> 00:01:50.900
I was in the parking garage at
the federal building off...

17
00:01:50.900 --> 00:01:52.570
[voice trails off]

18
00:01:52.570 --> 00:01:55.440
[woman picking up phone in an
office]

19
00:01:55.440 --> 00:01:58.070
It's not easy to put all of the
pieces together, and we don't

20
00:01:58.070 --> 00:02:01.940
expect you to. That's the job
of law enforcement and

21
00:02:01.940 --> 00:02:04.800
intelligence analysts.

22
00:02:04.800 --> 00:02:07.900
But homeland security is a
shared effort and responsibility

23
00:02:07.900 --> 00:02:12.340
for each of us. When you see
things that just don't seem right -

24
00:02:12.340 --> 00:02:15.670
that seem, somehow, out of the
ordinary - reporting what you

25
00:02:15.670 --> 00:02:19.300
observed can be invaluable to the
work of law enforcement and

26
00:02:19.300 --> 00:02:23.430
intelligence analysts in a
shared effort.

27
00:02:23.430 --> 00:02:26.670
Acts of terrorism against the
United States can be large or

28
00:02:26.670 --> 00:02:30.570
small, and we've all seen their
horrific images on television

29
00:02:30.570 --> 00:02:36.330
or in newspapers. But terrorist
acts don't happen spontaneously.

30
00:02:36.330 --> 00:02:41.840
Many require some form of planning.

31
00:02:41.840 --> 00:02:44.540
Before they strike, many
terrorists watch and

32
00:02:44.540 --> 00:02:48.200
study their targets,

33
00:02:48.200 --> 00:02:53.200
gather information,

34
00:02:53.200 --> 00:03:01.870
test security,

35
00:03:01.870 --> 00:03:07.840
acquire funds and supplies -
often through criminal activities -

36
00:03:07.840 --> 00:03:14.140
and rehearse or walk through
their plans.

37
00:03:14.140 --> 00:03:18.100
To do this, they may create or
change identity documents or

38
00:03:18.100 --> 00:03:22.840
badges and seek to obtain
information about their targets.

39
00:03:22.840 --> 00:03:26.700
These changes or unusual interest
in facilities or procedures can

40
00:03:26.700 --> 00:03:30.670
be indicators of terrorist planning.

41
00:03:30.670 --> 00:03:35.100
Any of what we call these precursor
activities might be observable

42
00:03:35.100 --> 00:03:39.370
and reportable by a vigilant
member of the public.

43
00:03:39.370 --> 00:03:42.900
You are in the best position to
spot these precursor activities

44
00:03:42.900 --> 00:03:46.700
as you go about your everyday
activities in your community.

45
00:03:46.700 --> 00:03:53.200
[Woman: Excuse me, your bag!
Hey Security!]

46
00:03:53.200 --> 00:03:57.870
Now, it's important to
carefully consider what you

47
00:03:57.870 --> 00:04:03.340
observe, reporting suspicious
activity should not be based on a

48
00:04:03.340 --> 00:04:09.100
person's race, religion, or
gender... but rather on behaviors

49
00:04:09.100 --> 00:04:13.770
that seem suspicious or out of
the ordinary.

50
00:04:13.770 --> 00:04:16.970
So if you see something that
just isn't right, report your

51
00:04:16.970 --> 00:04:20.500
observations to your state or
local authorities, so they can

52
00:04:20.500 --> 00:04:24.510
analyze it to identify broader
trends.

53
00:04:24.510 --> 00:04:27.200
You should also know that the
law enforcement personnel that

54
00:04:27.200 --> 00:04:30.870
receive and respond to these
reports are trained to recognize

55
00:04:30.870 --> 00:04:35.060
trends, behaviors, and indicators
related to specific terrorist

56
00:04:35.060 --> 00:04:39.570
threats and related crime, while
respecting privacy and civil

57
00:04:39.570 --> 00:04:41.300
liberty safeguards.

58
00:04:43.070 --> 00:04:46.870
State and major urban area
fusion centers are focal points

59
00:04:46.870 --> 00:04:50.770
for the receipt, analysis,
gathering, and sharing of threat-

60
00:04:50.770 --> 00:04:56.140
related information. Fusion centers
have the unique capability to

61
00:04:56.140 --> 00:04:59.400
gather and receive information
shared by both the Federal

62
00:04:59.400 --> 00:05:03.700
government, and state, local and
tribal stakeholders within their

63
00:05:03.700 --> 00:05:05.540
areas of responsibility.

64
00:05:06.340 --> 00:05:09.960
Further, through the standards,
policies, and processes of the

65
00:05:09.960 --> 00:05:13.340
Nationwide Suspicious Activity
Reporting Initiative,

66
00:05:13.340 --> 00:05:15.970
fusion centers can share
information that has been

67
00:05:15.970 --> 00:05:19.240
determined to have a potential
nexus to terrorism or other

68
00:05:19.240 --> 00:05:21.431
criminal activity.

69
00:05:21.431 --> 00:05:24.400
Parters at all levels of
government work together to

70
00:05:24.400 --> 00:05:28.400
blend national intelligence with
local, regional and state

71
00:05:28.400 --> 00:05:32.600
information as appropriate, to
provide state and local context.

72
00:05:33.170 --> 00:05:37.140
This work often takes place at
fusion centers, facilities where

73
00:05:37.140 --> 00:05:39.960
state and local governments can
receive intelligence and

74
00:05:39.960 --> 00:05:42.700
information from the federal
government, and in turn, share

75
00:05:42.700 --> 00:05:46.900
their information and intelligence
with federal partners, assisting

76
00:05:46.900 --> 00:05:50.900
all homeland security partners
in identifying and addressing

77
00:05:50.900 --> 00:05:52.300
emerging threats.

could be a precursor to

criminal or terrorist activity,
take the next step and report it.

Always contact local law
enforcement whenever you

110

or behaviors.
