00:00:01.350 --> 00:00:09.099
The terrorist attacks on September 11th,

2
00:00:04.540 --> 00:00:11.799
2001, changed our world forever. Since

3
00:00:09.099 --> 00:00:14.380
that tragic day, we've become aware the

4
00:00:11.799 --> 00:00:17.110
terrorist organizations, lone defenders,

5
00:00:14.380 --> 00:00:18.940
and homegrown violent extremists are

6
00:00:17.110 --> 00:00:21.910
continually plotting and delivery

7
00:00:18.940 --> 00:00:24.790
devastation around the world, and in our

8
00:00:21.910 --> 00:00:27.480
own backyards. This was most recently

9
00:00:24.790 --> 00:00:30.130
seen during the 2013 Boston Marathon

10
00:00:27.480 --> 00:00:32.050
when a malicious attack killed three

11
00:00:30.130 --> 00:00:35.260
innocent people and injured more than

12
00:00:32.050 --> 00:00:37.360
260 others. A Massachusetts Institute of

13
00:00:35.260 --> 00:00:40.260
Technology officer was also shot and

14
00:00:37.360 --> 00:00:43.960
killed in the hours following the attack.

15
00:00:40.260 --> 00:00:46.210
It is evident now, more than ever, that

16
00:00:43.960 --> 00:00:48.880
our homeland and our hometowns are

17
00:00:46.210 --> 00:00:52.300
targets, and protecting them is our

18
00:00:48.880 --> 00:00:54.310
highest priority. As a state and local

19
00:00:52.300 --> 00:00:56.380
partner on the front line of addressing

20
00:00:54.310 --> 00:00:58.149
crime and terrorism, you have an

21
00:00:56.380 --> 00:01:00.910
important mission in the protection of

22
00:00:58.149 --> 00:01:03.430
your community and the country. Part of

23
00:01:00.910 --> 00:01:06.280
this role is observing, documenting, and

24
00:01:03.430 --> 00:01:09.370
reporting suspicious activity, which is

25
00:01:06.280 --> 00:01:11.650
defined as observed behavior, reasonably

26
00:01:09.370 --> 00:01:14.380
indicative of pre-operational planning,

27
00:01:11.650 --> 00:01:17.860
related to terrorism or other criminal

28
00:01:14.380 --> 00:01:19.900
activity. To support this public safety

29
00:01:17.860 --> 00:01:22.720
purpose, the Suspicious Activity

30
00:01:19.900 --> 00:01:25.540
Reporting (or SAR) line officer training

31
00:01:22.720 --> 00:01:28.780
has been developed by the Nationwide SAR

32
00:01:25.540 --> 00:01:30.250
Initiative (or NSI) in concert with law

33
00:01:28.780 --> 00:01:32.979
enforcement and homeland security

34
00:01:30.250 --> 00:01:35.530
partners. The SAR line officer training

35
00:01:32.979 --> 00:01:37.740
will illustrate the significant role of

36
00:01:35.530 --> 00:01:39.790
frontline officers in identifying,

37
00:01:37.740 --> 00:01:42.090
documenting, and reporting suspicious

38
00:01:39.790 --> 00:01:44.590
activity, enhance frontline officers

39
00:01:42.090 --> 00:01:47.409
understanding of potential behaviors, and

40
00:01:44.590 --> 00:01:49.780
indicators associated with pre-incident

41
00:01:47.409 --> 00:01:51.790
terrorism threats, and other criminal

42
00:01:49.780 --> 00:01:55.180
activity through vivid real-life

43
00:01:51.790 --> 00:01:57.460
scenarios, emphasize the importance of

44
00:01:55.180 --> 00:01:59.530
protecting privacy, civil rights, and

45
00:01:57.460 --> 00:02:02.200
civil liberties as frontline officers

46
00:01:59.530 --> 00:02:03.850
when identifying, documenting, reporting,

47
00:02:02.200 --> 00:02:04.950
and sharing suspicious activity

48
00:02:03.850 --> 00:02:06.990
information.

49
00:02:04.950 --> 00:02:09.390
Identify additional resources for

50
00:02:06.990 --> 00:02:11.870
further education on suspicious activity

51
00:02:09.390 --> 00:02:14.879
reporting and other related topics, and

52
00:02:11.870 --> 00:02:15.960
assess users understanding of the course

53
00:02:14.879 --> 00:02:23.290
material.
