Suspicious Activity Reporting
“If You See Something, Say Something®” is a national campaign that raises public awareness of the indicators of terrorism, terrorism-related crime, and domestic violent extremism, as well as the importance of reporting suspicious activity to state and local law enforcement. Informed, alert communities play a critical role in keeping our nation safe.
With public safety as our top priority, the City of Chicago encourages everyone to report suspicious activity through the Department of Homeland Security’s See Something, Say Something® initiative. OEMC encourages residents and visitors to report any suspicious objects, persons or any unusual activity by calling 9-1-1 immediately or to notify security personnel on site.
