Although antiterrorism awareness should always be a priority, Antiterrorism Awareness month reminds us to renew our commitment to the vigilance required to prevent terrorist attacks and protect our employees, locations, and operations from acts of terror.
Remember to remain vigilant, pay attention to your surroundings, report any suspicious activities, and don’t expect someone else has already done so. Report all potential risks so investigative actions can occur.
iWATCH, i KEEP US SAFE (iWATCH) is a community awareness program created to educate the public about behaviors and activities that may have a connection to terrorism. This program is a community program to help your neighborhood stay safe from terrorist activities. We can and must work together to prevent terrorist attacks. To learn about the iWATCH program and about the behaviors and activities that you should report, view the videos and review the list of examples. Remember that the iWATCH program is about behaviors and activities, not individuals.
