Criminal and Terrorist Threats

All organizations, from hotels, banks, and grocery stores to manufacturing plants and nonprofit organizations, can be venues for criminal or terrorist activities.

Be alert to any persons who behave suspiciously or engage in unusual actions; these behaviors may be indications of criminal or terrorist activity. Make sure that you:

  • Understand how criminals or terrorists could use your facility for their own purposes.
  • Promptly alert your security personnel, management, and appropriate authorities when you see suspicious behavior or items, or unusual activity.
  • Report something if it looks or feels wrong. Security is everyone's responsibility.
