If you believe a person or property is under an imminent threat, please call 9-1-1.  To submit a Suspicious Activity Report (SAR) to the CCIC, please click on the button below – you will be directed to a third-party website.

Suspicious activity is any observed behavior that may indicate pre-operational planning associated with terrorism or terrorism-related crime. With the help of the Nationwide Suspicious Activity Reporting (SAR) Initiative (NSI), the U.S. Department of Homeland Security has identified common signs of terrorism-related suspicious activity. Some activities could be innocent, but trained law enforcement officials can determine whether the behavior warrants further action.

Suspicious activity may include an unknown individual eliciting information about a building’s security system, making violent threats on social media, indications of human trafficking, or collecting hazardous materials. More information regarding the common signs of suspicious activity may be found here.   

Information submitted as Suspicious Activity Reporting will typically have a nexus to the 16 indicators detailed in the Nationwide SAR Initiative (NSI) found here and here. Please reference the NSI indicators to help guide what information should be submitted as a suspicious activity report (SAR). Please note: Not all suspicious activity will neatly fit into these categories, therefore please submit any activity that you find suspicious regardless of the 16 NSI criteria.   

Detail is important in SAR reporting. Please include the following information: who you saw, what you saw, when you saw it, where it occurred, and why it is suspicious. The more detail, the better.
