00:00:00.290 --> 00:00:07.080
Your Role in Reporting Suspicious Activity.

2
00:00:03.060 --> 00:00:09.929
Hometown security begins with you.

3
00:00:07.080 --> 00:00:12.780
As a citizen you have a duty to

4
00:00:09.929 --> 00:00:13.320
report a crime. As a hometown security

5
00:00:12.780 --> 00:00:15.870
partner,

6
00:00:13.320 --> 00:00:17.369
if you observe suspicious activity you

7
00:00:15.870 --> 00:00:19.380
are encouraged to report that

8
00:00:17.369 --> 00:00:20.490
information directly to your local law

9
00:00:19.380 --> 00:00:22.410
enforcement agency.

10
00:00:20.490 --> 00:00:24.570
Check with your organization regarding

11
00:00:22.410 --> 00:00:27.390
any existing process or procedures in

12
00:00:24.570 --> 00:00:29.250
place. In some cases agencies may already

13
00:00:27.390 --> 00:00:31.529
have an established relationship with

14
00:00:29.250 --> 00:00:33.480
the state or major urban area fusion

15
00:00:31.529 --> 00:00:35.730
center, and a designated method for

16
00:00:33.480 --> 00:00:37.890
reporting SARs directly to the fusion

17
00:00:35.730 --> 00:00:39.450
center. You should ask your supervisor

18
00:00:37.890 --> 00:00:41.399
whether you have a designated

19
00:00:39.450 --> 00:00:43.110
information or intelligence liaison,

20
00:00:41.399 --> 00:00:45.600
sometimes referred to as a fusion

21
00:00:43.110 --> 00:00:47.850
liaison officer, who works for the fusion

22
00:00:45.600 --> 00:00:49.829
center, and whether your agency has

23
00:00:47.850 --> 00:00:52.050
additional policies on submitting SARs

24
00:00:49.829 --> 00:00:54.510
to local law enforcement and the fusion

25
00:00:52.050 --> 00:00:57.690
center. Remember the information you

26
00:00:54.510 --> 00:01:00.149
observe and report is valued and will be

27
00:00:57.690 --> 00:01:03.480
reviewed to determine whether there is a

28
00:01:00.149 --> 00:01:05.790
potential link to terrorism. With eyes

29
00:01:03.480 --> 00:01:07.890
and ears on our streets, and working with

30
00:01:05.790 --> 00:01:09.299
citizens and communities every day, you

31
00:01:07.890 --> 00:01:11.790
play an important role in protecting

32
00:01:09.299 --> 00:01:13.740
your community. Law enforcement and

33
00:01:11.790 --> 00:01:15.689
fusion centers across the nation depend

34
00:01:13.740 --> 00:01:18.299
on partnerships within the public sector,

35
00:01:15.689 --> 00:01:20.159
and throughout the private sector. The

36
00:01:18.299 --> 00:01:22.380
suspicious activity information that you

37
00:01:20.159 --> 00:01:24.229
report could aid in the detection and

38
00:01:22.380 --> 00:01:26.640
disruption of a terrorist plot.

39
00:01:24.229 --> 00:01:28.799
We hope this part of the training has

40
00:01:26.640 --> 00:01:31.530
increased your awareness of the value of

41
00:01:28.799 --> 00:01:34.200
the NSI, the National Network of Fusion

42
00:01:31.530 --> 00:01:36.560
Centers, and critical programs such as "If

43
00:01:34.200 --> 00:01:38.490
You See Something, Say Something."

44
00:01:36.560 --> 00:01:40.950
Enhanced your understanding of the

45
00:01:38.490 --> 00:01:43.500
behaviors associated with pre-incident

46
00:01:40.950 --> 00:01:45.659
terrorism activities.

47
00:01:43.500 --> 00:01:48.689
Conveyed the significance of your role in

48
00:01:45.659 --> 00:01:50.790
reporting suspicious activity.

49
00:01:48.689 --> 00:01:53.490
Emphasize the foundational role that protecting

50
00:01:50.790 --> 00:01:56.159
privacy, civil rights, and civil liberties

51
00:01:53.490 --> 00:01:59.130
has with the NSI and the "If You See

52
00:01:56.159 --> 00:01:59.790
Something, Say Something" program.

53
00:01:59.130 --> 00:02:02.340
With your help

54
00:01:59.790 --> 00:02:04.590
terrorist acts against our homeland will

55
00:02:02.340 --> 00:02:08.030
be prevented, and our communities will be
resilient and safe.
