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.”

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-

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!
