Winter Holiday Public Awareness Bulletin

Each year, the Winter Holiday Season tends to spur larger crowds
and increased traffic throughout the City. As it pertains to shop-
ping districts, public transportation routes, and all other places of
public assembly, the increased crowds become a matter of Home-
land Security concern. During this holiday period, as a matter of
public safety, we ask that all members of the general public
heighten their awareness regarding any and all suspicious activity
that may be an indicator of a threat to public safety. It is impor-
tant to immediately report any or all of the below suspect activi-
ties.

• Physical Surveillance (note taking, binocular use, cameras, video, maps)
• Attempts to gain sensitive information regarding key facilities
• Attempts to penetrate or test physical security / response procedures
• Attempts to improperly acquire explosives, weapons, ammunition, dan-
gerous chemicals, etc.
• Suspicious or improper attempts to acquire official vehicles, uniforms,
badges or access devices
• Presence of individuals who do not appear to belong in workplaces, busi-
ness establishments, or near key facilities
• Mapping out routes, playing out scenarios, monitoring key facilities, tim-
ing traffic lights
• Stockpiling suspicious materials or abandoning potential containers for
explosives (e.g., vehicles, suitcases, etc)
• Suspicious reporting of lost or stolen identification
