Citizens Reporting

FBI and local law enforcement rely on your tips to help

prevent mass shootings - Aug 05, 2019

Retired FBI agent and Allan Hancock College Political

Science professor, Dan Payne, says there are several

measures in place to stop potential mass shootings. He

says, at the end of the day, it all comes down to help from

the public. "What they depend on a lot is public input.

Someone says this person is talking crazy, he has a hit list

of people, he is amassing firearms, he is amassing

ammunition. These types of information filter into the FBI,"

said Payne.

Are we Safer Now than 2001?

The U.S. Senate Homeland Security and Governmental

Affairs Committee recently held a field hearing titled “18

Years Later: The State of Homeland Security after 9/11”

Sen. Gary Peters (D-MI) is ranking member of that

committee. He says it was a way to both reflect on the

terrorist attack as well as how we make sure something

like it doesn’t happen again. Peters also says that the

scope of terrorism is much different in 2019 than it was

in 2001. “It’s not foreign terrorism,” he says. “What we’re

seeing right now is primarily domestic terrorism. We’ve

seen the rise of white supremacist activity, not just in the

United States, but around the world.”

IWATCH was first developed by the Los Angeles Police

Department to encourage and enable members of the

community to help protect their community by identifying

and reporting suspicious behavior known to be associated

with terrorist activities.

According to the San Jose Mercury News June 3 edition,

when iWATCH was first revealed in October 2009, then-

LAPD Police Chief William Bratton said it was "intended to

be the next evolution of keeping America safe…”

iWATCH Evolves

iWATCH quickly spread across the united states and the

concept was adopted by the federal government and law

enforcement agencies a crossed the country. The United States

Army was no exception.

This nationwide campaign creates partnerships between

military and civilian organizations. Particularly in information

sharing. Such information or cooperation may reveal a piece of

the puzzle that thwarts a terrorist plot.

Consequently, iWatch empowers Soldiers, civilian employees,

contractors, their family members, as well as civilian visitors

with protecting places where they live, work and play.

Summary

IWATCH is an antiterrorism awareness program that Soldiers,

family members, and the civilian workforce throughout our

communities, both on and off installations, should all be

familiar with suspicious activity or behavior and how to report it

to promote and enhance reporting

"Our greatest weapon against terrorism is unity…” “That unity

is built on partnerships with the private sector and effective

outreach to the public as our eyes and ears. – Former FBI

Director Robert Mueller III.

If it doesn't look right, then it probably isn't.

If you see something, say something!
