00:00:00.370 --> 00:00:04.889
The Role of the Maritime Sector in the

2
00:00:02.469 --> 00:00:04.889
NSI.

3
00:00:06.400 --> 00:00:11.170
You have the opportunity in the course

4
00:00:08.590 --> 00:00:13.959
of your daily job to observe situations

5
00:00:11.170 --> 00:00:15.490
that may provide valuable insight for

6
00:00:13.959 --> 00:00:17.590
law enforcement agencies in

7
00:00:15.490 --> 00:00:20.770
investigating and preventing terrorism.

8
00:00:17.590 --> 00:00:22.930
As a worker in the maritime industry, you

9
00:00:20.770 --> 00:00:24.820
operate in and around critical

10
00:00:22.930 --> 00:00:27.279
infrastructure facilities and key

11
00:00:24.820 --> 00:00:29.439
resource sites that are vital to the

12
00:00:27.279 --> 00:00:31.419
function of the nation. Due to your

13
00:00:29.439 --> 00:00:33.969
particular position, you have an

14
00:00:31.419 --> 00:00:37.090
important role not only in your specific

15
00:00:33.969 --> 00:00:39.670
industry, but also to understand, observe,

16
00:00:37.090 --> 00:00:41.829
and report suspicious behavior and

17
00:00:39.670 --> 00:00:44.170
activity that may occur while you are on

18
00:00:41.829 --> 00:00:46.929
duty. In the course of your daily duties

19
00:00:44.170 --> 00:00:50.499
you may observe various incidents of

20
00:00:46.929 --> 00:00:52.659
suspicious activity. For example, a person

21
00:00:50.499 --> 00:00:55.570
asking unusual questions about a

22
00:00:52.659 --> 00:00:57.399
facility or vessel, such as the schedule

23
00:00:55.570 --> 00:01:00.940
of your ship, or what is stored at the

24
00:00:57.399 --> 00:01:03.159
facility, or someone taking pictures of a

25
00:01:00.940 --> 00:01:05.950
cargo terminal around parking areas, or

26
00:01:03.159 --> 00:01:07.659
holding tanks. It is important that when

27
00:01:05.950 --> 00:01:10.150
the circumstances point to behavior

28
00:01:07.659 --> 00:01:12.580
reasonably indicative of pre-operational

29
00:01:10.150 --> 00:01:15.310
planning related to terrorism or other

30
00:01:12.580 --> 00:01:17.860
criminal activity, that these behaviors

31
00:01:15.310 --> 00:01:20.640
be reported. While activities like these

32
00:01:17.860 --> 00:01:23.470
may not be criminal, they are suspicious.

33
00:01:20.640 --> 00:01:25.390
When a single suspicious activity is

34
00:01:23.470 --> 00:01:27.970
examined in the context of other

35
00:01:25.390 --> 00:01:31.750
information, such as a National Terrorism

36
00:01:27.970 --> 00:01:33.840
Advisory System (or NTAS alert), on key

37
00:01:31.750 --> 00:01:36.130
resource facilities or other

38
00:01:33.840 --> 00:01:39.040
corresponding previously reported

39
00:01:36.130 --> 00:01:41.590
suspicious activities, the circumstances

40
00:01:39.040 --> 00:01:43.870
surrounding the behavior may suggest

41
00:01:41.590 --> 00:01:46.120
that the activity is an indicator of

42
00:01:43.870 --> 00:01:48.370
potential terrorists planning. The

43
00:01:46.120 --> 00:01:50.440
following scenarios provide examples of

44
00:01:48.370 --> 00:01:53.110
suspicious behavior you may encounter

45
00:01:50.440 --> 00:01:54.550
during your daily duties, and the

46
00:01:53.110 --> 00:01:56.440
importance of documenting and

47
00:01:54.550 --> 00:01:58.440
communicating these incidents with

48
00:01:56.440 --> 00:02:01.030
supervisors and local law enforcement.

49
00:01:58.440 --> 00:02:02.860
However, you should not take any

50
00:02:01.030 --> 00:02:05.410
additional actions regarding the

51
00:02:02.860 --> 00:02:08.080
reporting of suspicious activity beyond

52
00:02:05.410 --> 00:02:10.619
your organization's policy and operating
procedures.
