Report suspicious behaviors and activities
What is iWATCH ARMY?
iWATCH, iREPORT, i KEEP US SAFE (iWATCH ARMY) is a community program to help your neighborhood stay safe from terrorist activities.
 
You and your fellow Army community members can report behaviors and activities that make you feel uncomfortable and do not look right (suspicious behaviors).
 
iWATCH ARMY is a program and partnership between your community and your local law enforcement. iWATCH ARMY asks you to report behavior and activities that are unusual or seem out of the ordinary.

Why Report These Behaviors and Activities?

In today’s dynamic and evolving threat environment, it is essential that we remain vigilant and work together to prevent potential incidents before they occur. Early reporting of suspicious behaviors is one of our most effective tools—when in doubt, report.

The iWATCH ARMY Program focuses on identifying behaviors and activities, not individuals. By staying aware and engaged, we strengthen our collective security and help protect our community.

What Activities Do I Report?
Here are examples of behaviors and activities to report:

  • People drawing or measuring important buildings.
  • Strangers asking questions about security forces or security procedures.
  • A briefcase, suitcase, backpack or package left behind.
  • Cars or trucks left in No Parking zones in front of important buildings.
  • Intruders found in secure areas.
  • A person wearing clothes that are too big and bulky and/or too hot for the weather.
  • Chemical smells or fumes that worry you.
  • Questions about sensitive information such as building blueprints, security plans or VIP travel schedules without a right or need to know.
  • Purchasing supplies or equipment that can be used to make bombs or weapons or purchasing uniforms without having the proper credentials.

See Something Say Something
Example Situations
“There’s a chemical smell coming from my neighbor’s apartment.”

“I saw someone taking measurements. I don’t want to get them in trouble. What should I do?” 
(This activity may be repeated at other locations and you may be reporting one piece of the puzzle.)

“Maybe someone just forgot their briefcase on the bus.” 
(Do not check it yourself. It may be a test.)

“I saw someone watching our offices, and the next day my co-worker was asked a lot of questions about our building by someone else.”
(Do not check it yourself. It may be a test.)
