About the Campaign<\/strong><\/h3>\n

The \u201cIf You See Something, Say Something\u00ae\u201d campaign was originally implemented and trademarked by the New York Metropolitan Transportation Authority (NY MTA) in 2002 and is licensed to the Canadian Association of Chiefs of Police (CACP) for the purpose of a national campaign in Canada.<\/p>\n

The purpose of the \u201cIf You See Something, Say Something\u00ae\u201d campaign is to raise awareness of suspicious activity that may constitute a national security threat and to emphasize the importance of reporting suspicious activity to law enforcement or security officials.<\/p>\n

Threats to national security can come in many forms and early identification is possible. By working together, knowing what to look for and what to do with the information we receive, we can make a difference, ensuring safety and security for all of us.<\/p>\n

The U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has designated September 25 as national \u201cIf You See Something, Say Something\u00ae\u201d Awareness Day. For more information on the DHS campaign, visit https:\/\/www.dhs.gov\/see-something-say-something<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>

Suspicious Activity<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Identifying and reporting suspicious incidents help law enforcement and security agencies keep Canadians and Canada safe. It is important for frontline employees and the public to report anything they deem suspicious. Frontline employees are best placed to observe suspicious behaviours as they are familiar with their surroundings and know best what fits into their daily routine.<\/p>\n

There are a number of indicators of terrorism and terrorism-related crime that Canadians can be on the look-out for:<\/p>\n

Someone showing an unusual interest in or taking pictures\/video of people, buildings, security features, or surrounding areas.<\/p>\n

Someone trying to obtain or conduct training in security concepts.<\/p>\n

Someone collecting materials such as cell phones, toxic substances, and weapons<\/p>\n

Unauthorized people getting into a restricted area, system or protected site, or impersonating authorized personnel, which can include theft of uniforms or access badges<\/p>\n

Damaging, manipulating, or breaking part of a facility, infrastructure, or sercured site<\/p>\n

Interactions with, or challenges to personnel or systems that show physical, personnel or cyber security capabilities. This might look like suspicious items\/packages, trying to get private information, and diversionary tactics.<\/p>\n

Someone making or communicating a threat to harm or kill people or damage a facility, infrastructure, or secure site.<\/p>\n

The presence of any single behaviour does not constitute a national security threat or other serious criminal activity. However, a cluster of behaviours may indicate suspicious activity worthy of in-depth examination. An occurrence may seem unimportant, but together, combined with other incident information, could be indicative of a greater threat. When an incident occurs or intelligence is received regarding a potential threat, early reporting to law enforcement is key to ensuring a timely response.<\/p>\n

The \u201cIf You See Something, Say Something\u00ae\u201d campaign respects the rights and privacy of citizens by emphasizing behaviour, rather than appearance, in identifying suspicious activity. Factors such as assumptions, race, ethnicity, national origin, gender or gender identity, sexual orientation, and\/or religious affiliation are not suspicious. Partners should only report suspicious behaviours and situations, such as unattended bags, or packages or an individual breaking into a restricted area.<\/p>\n<\/div>

Reporting Suspicious Activity<\/strong><\/h3>\n

If something seems wrong, notify law enforcement authorities as soon as possible. If you have any doubts or would like to report a suspicious incident, please contact your local police service or call the RCMP National Security Information Network at 1-800-420-5805.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Describe specifically what you observed, including: who<\/strong> or what<\/strong> you saw; when<\/strong> you saw it; where<\/strong> it occurred; and why<\/strong> it\u2019s suspicious.<\/p>\n

The reporting phone number must be monitored by an individual 24\/7\/365 to ensure any reported suspicious activity is handled immediately.<\/p>\n

If there is an emergency, call 9-1-1.<\/b><\/p>\n<\/div>
