FDLE: If You See Something, Say Something
December 9, 2015
The Florida Department of Law Enforcement is relaunching the “If You See Something, Say Something™” campaign after recent terror attacks.
“As the holidays approach, we remind our citizens to remain vigilant,” said FDLE Commissioner Rick Swearingen. “It’s important that we are aware of our surroundings and report suspicious behavior to law enforcement.”
Florida initially launched the “If You See Something, Say Something™” campaign in 2011. Although the campaign never ended, FDLE is redistributing information to its law enforcement and media partners asking them to consider reposting the information on social media and writing news stories about the campaign.
Officials encourage anyone who sees suspicious activity to report it to local authorities or call 1-855-FLA-SAFE (1-855-352-7233). It can also be reported online through FDLE’s website at www.fdle.state.fl.us.
Examples of suspicious activity include things like: people drawing or measuring buildings for no known reason, strangers asking questions about building security procedures or people in secure areas where they are not supposed to be, or leaving behind briefcases, suitcases, backpacks or packages.
The “If You See Something, Say Something™” campaign, originally implemented by New York City’s Metropolitan Transportation Authority and now licensed to Department of Homeland Security for a nationwide campaign, is a simple and effective program to engage the public and key frontline employees to identify and report indicators of terrorism and terrorism-related crime to the proper law enforcement authorities.

People want to, but afraid to. Our government won’t name the enemy but quick to try to disarm the people of the America. Nonsense.I will report anything suspicious and will always be armed.
This is the most note worthy article I’ve seen. I have seen a thing or 2, and did not know who to call. Thank you northescambia.com.
OK Thanks If I see something I will report it. Perhaps all citizens being aware and watchful and early intervention may save a life. We are in this together and I appreciate ur law enforcement military and government and new reporting It may not all be perfect but its what we have and very important.
When you have citizens that did ’see something suspicious’ but did not report due to fear of the government labeling them as racist and/or anti-Islam then there’s the much larger problem. From the top of the food chain [cowh] the message has been clear from the beginning and the citizens that did observe knew how they would be perceived—even the AG immediately after the incident was more concerned about getting the message out that any anti-Muslim backlash would be investigated. If this administration would attack the terrorism issue with the same zest that the do going after and condemning law enforcement—global warming—most anti-[anything phobic] dealing with the ME—and of course their favorite–gun control legislation and politicizing every incident…in other words if they treated the terrorists like they do law abiding Americans—The message would be CLEAR!…
BUT…BUT…BUT… won’t we get fired if we report a student with a ticking metal case?????and what if that student sues AMERICANS for millions?????? hmmmmmm…..what to do,what to do…………..
You must live on the west side of town in the low-income housing if your worried about guns in your community. The only threat to me is our Government attacking our 2nd amendment right.
See something, Say something, as long as they aren’t a different race or religion!
‘See something, say something’?
Sure, then be mocked, harassed, demonized and sued for being a racist, hater, xenophobe, etc.
We have more to fear from nutjobs with guns in our community than we do some perceived terrorist threat. The terrorists are our own folks.
