Sikh temple shooting press conference, talking about DHS "If you see something, say something" - report "marginally atypical"

Bump to see if anyone else saw that, I wonder if they're going to have a lot of people calling that are going to be reporting their neighbors who may just be "weird" but not a psycho.

Bumping again, I keep hearing the newscasters about "If you see something, say something" campaign, which looks like it wouldn't have helped in this case anyway, at least according to the neighbors interviewed....wonder if they're going to be ramping it up.

Wow, it looks like they updated their website on August 2 to say they are going to be unveiling a new look to their site:.


Preview the Next Generation of www.DHS.gov

August 2 - The Department of Homeland Security just redesigned its website and now you can take a look and offer your feedback before we officially launch the new website within the next two weeks and retire the old one.

It takes you here:

What jumps out at me is right in the middle of the page is now info on how to report suspicious activity, the current page does not.

How Do I...?

Report Suspicious Activity

Report Suspicious Activity
What You Need To Know

Prompt and detailed reporting of suspicious activities can help prevent violent crimes or terrorist attacks. If you see suspicious activity, please report it to your local police department. Local law enforcement officers can respond quickly. Once they assess the situation, they can obtain additional support.
Start Here

Citizens should always call local law enforcement. If you see something suspicious, please call local law enforcement.

If there is a life threatening emergency, please call 911.

When reporting suspicious activity, it is helpful to give the most accurate description possible, including:

Brief description of the activity
Date, time and location of the activity
Physical identifiers of anyone you observed
Descriptions of vehicles
Information about where people involved in suspicious activities may have gone
Your name and contact information (optional)

Behind the scenes there is an active national strategy for information sharing. The Nationwide Suspicious Activity Reporting (SAR) Initiative (NSI) is a collaborative effort led by the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ), Bureau of Justice Assistance, in partnership with the U.S. Department of Homeland Security, the Federal Bureau of Investigation, and state, local, tribal, and territorial law enforcement partners.

This initiative provides law enforcement with another tool to help prevent terrorism and other terrorism-related crime by establishing a national capacity for gathering, documenting, processing, analyzing, and sharing SAR information.

The NSI is a standardized process—including stakeholder outreach, privacy protections, training, and facilitation of technology—for identifying and reporting suspicious activity in jurisdictions across the country and also serves as the unified focal point for sharing SAR information.

Nobody cares, stop endlessly bumping your own threads copy/paste queen.

You must care sweetheart, since you decide to seek out my threads and post negatively in them.

Actually lots of us like Laura's posts.

Quit spamming her threads.

Papers please!

I do wonder if that's what it's going to come to, with TSA already wanting to expand beyond the airport, now seems like the perfect time for DHS to expand their program as well.

Bumping to see if anyone else noticed this...

I was washing the dishes and just realized I did not even thank you for this :) I do appreciate the kind words, I guess the troll just wants me to post things in my own words that are 100% exclusive to GLP lol.
