Homeland Security & Terrorism Awareness - Nationwide Suspicious Activity Reporting (SAR) Initiative (NSI)

The Nationwide Suspicious Activity Reporting Initiative is a partnership among federal, state, local, tribal, and territorial law enforcement that establishes a national capacity for gathering, documenting, processing, analyzing, and sharing suspicious activity information—also referred to as the SAR process—in a manner that rigorously protects the privacy and civil liberties of Americans.

To report suspicious activity, contact the police immediately. Describe specifically what you observed, including:

• Who or what you saw;
• When you saw it;
• Where it occurred; and
• Why it's suspicious.

If there is an emergency, call 9–1–1.
