Terrorism Awareness

If You See Something, Say Something!

In 2011, Secretary of Homeland Security announced an expansion of the "If You See Something, Say Something" public awareness campaign in an effort to help ensure safety and security of the American public.

The "If You See Something, Say Something" campaign was originally implemented by New York City's Metropolitan Transportation Authority and now licensed to DHS for a nationwide campaign. It is a simple and effective program to engage the public to identify and report indicators of terrorism, crime and other threats to law enforcement authorities.
