Reporting Suspected Terrorist Activity

There are two key elements in giving a good report:

• Accuracy
• Timeliness

Accuracy means reporting what you saw, and nothing more.

Do NOT add juicy “might have happeneds” to make the situation sound more important.

However, it is appropriate to include the reason the activity seemed suspicious, even if it’s simply, “It wasn’t normal.”

Timeliness means that after a certain period of time, the suspicious situation will change, people will leave, or possibly alter their appearance.

It’s very important to report anything suspicious immediately after you observed it happening.
