August is Anti-terrorism Awareness Month

Be aware of your surrounding. If you see anyone drawing or measuring important buildings; strangers asking questions about security procedures; briefcase, suitcase, backpack, or package left behind; vehicles left in “no parking” zones in front of important buildings; intruders in secure areas where they do not belong; chemical smells or fumes that seem of the ordinary for location; people purchasing bomb or weapon making materials; and people asking questions about sensitive information such as building blueprints, security plans, or VIP travel - call your local law enforcement. Help law enforcement by noting the date and time the activity occurred; where the activity occurred; physical descriptions of the people involved; description of the vehicle(s) involved; describe what you saw or heard; and provide pictures if possible. Along these lines, it’s also important for people to know who and where they should report suspicious behavior or activity. Emergencies should always be reported by calling 911, but non-emergency suspicious behavior can also be reported to Security Forces here at 208-828-2257 or 208-828-2257. Everyone is responsible for our safety if you see something, say something” and as always, remain vigilan!
