Your awareness and observations of your environments are important for the safety and security of everyone. If you think it is suspicious, it is.
Report and send photos/videos of suspicious incidents, persons, or vehicles.
Trust Your Instincts
If you see something or hear something that you think is suspicious or not normal for your environments, take a photo/video of the person or vehicle with your mobile device and report it via PSBWatch. You can also screenshot suspicious emails or internet postings and attach the screenshots to a PSBWatch report.
Examples of Reports That Have Saved Lives
- A citizen waiting for a subway train observed several individuals taking video of tracks and security cameras throughout a rail station. The citizen took a photo of the individuals and reported the behavior via a system similar to PSBWatch. Law enforcement connected that report to other "dots" and prevented an attack.
- A citizen observed an individual in a vehicle staring at and taking pictures of children washing cars for a school fundraiser. The citizen took photos of the individual and reported the behavior via a system similar to PSBWatch. Investigators determined the individual was a convicted child predator and he was arrested for violating his terms of parole.
- A civilian employee on a US military installation observed an individual photographing military aircraft on the installation "airside". The civilian took photos of the individual and reported the behavior via a system similar to PSBWatch. Law enforcement connected that report to other "dots" and investigators determined the individual was likely a foreign intelligence asset.
