This app is based on the iWatch community program recently launched in Los Angeles, California. It is designed to help keep your neighborhood safe from terrorist activities.
The app:
- Helps you identify nine different types of suspicious behavior and activities
- Provides examples of important places to watch for suspicious activity
- Gives you a checklist of items to provide to law enforcement
- Helps you determine the appropriate law enforcement entity to contact
You and your fellow community members can report behaviors and activities that make you feel uncomfortable or do not look right (suspicious behaviors).
It is your awareness of your surroundings, reported to law enforcement, that can help predict and prevent attacks before they happen. Since 9/11, it has been essential that we work together to prevent future attacks. It is always better to report behaviors and activities that do not seem right. Remember: this is about behaviors and activities, not individuals.
Trust your instincts! We rely on our senses every day of our lives to keep us safe in a variety of way. If a behavior or activity makes you feel uncomfortable, report it!
Some real life examples of suspicious activities that saved lives because they were reported by concerned individuals include:
- A video store clerk saw anti-American material on a DVD he was asked to copy. Police captured and arrested individuals planning a bomb attack.
- A grandmother smelled bad odors from the empty, neighboring apartment and noticed that the apartment was frequented by various people. Police discovered a poison gas factory.
- Residents were concerned by someone’s threats of violence. Police captured and arrested a group planning a subway attack.
