Eight Signs of Terrorism

Eight Signs of Terrorism Video
Terrorist operations usually begin with extensive planning. You can help prevent and detect terrorism — and other types of crime — by watching out for suspicious activities and reporting them to the proper authorities. Be alert for the eight signs of terrorism!

1. Surveillance- Someone recording or monitoring activities. This may include the use of cameras, note taking, drawing diagrams, annotating on maps, or using binoculars or other vision-enhancing devices.

2. Elicitation- People or organizations attempting to gain information about military operations, capabilities, or people. Elicitation attempts may be made by mail, email, telephone, or in person. This could also include eavesdropping or friendly conversation.

3. Tests of Security- Any attempts to measure reaction times to security breaches, attempts to penetrate physical security barriers, or monitor procedures in order to assess strengths and weaknesses.

4. Funding- Suspicious transactions involving large cash payments, deposits, or withdrawals are common signs of terrorist funding. Collections for donations, the solicitation for money and criminal activity are also warning signs.

5. Supplies- Purchasing or stealing explosives, weapons, ammunition, etc. This also includes acquiring military uniforms, decals, flight manuals, passes or badges (or the equipment to manufacture such items) and any other controlled items.

6. Impersonation- People who dont seem to belong in the workplace, neighborhood, business establishment, or anywhere else. This includes suspicious border crossings, the impersonation of law enforcement, military personnel, or company employees is also a sign.




7. Rehearsal- Putting people in position and moving them around according to their plan without actually committing the terrorist act. An element of this activity could also include mapping out routes and determining the timing of traffic lights and flow.

8. Deployment- People and supplies getting into position to commit the act. This is the persons last chance to alert authorities before the terrorist act occurs.




Colorado Information Analysis Center

In response to the 2001 September 11th attacks, the United States has created specialized agencies to coordinate efforts to prevent, protect against, respond to, recover from, and prosecute acts of terrorism. The CIAC is a multi agency fusion center created to help prevent terrorism incidents in Colorado.

The CIAC is designed to link all stakeholders in Colorado, from local and federal law enforcement officers, to bankers and school teachers. It emphasizes detection, prevention, and information-driven response to protect the citizens and critical infrastructure of Colorado. This counterterrorism effort is centralized in order to enhance interagency cooperation and expedite information flow.

Terrorism cannot be completely eliminated. However, through efficient use of resources, the likelihood and impact of terrorist actions can be reduced.

Prevention is everyone's responsibility. We are one neighborhood, one state, one nation; and it is the responsibility of all to remain vigilant and to report suspicious behavior. One call can make a difference.
Report Suspicious Activity

Call 911 to report all suspicious incidents or unusual activity that may require immediate police response.

It only takes ONE CALL.

  • This becomes absolutely horrifying when considered in the context of indefinite detainment of US citizens bill currently circulating through the government. Get reported to these guys, and you won't just be arrested, you'll be handed over to the military, who will keep you for as long as they want, do whatever they want to you, all without even telling your family. Trying to pay for something in cash will make you disappear.

  • I like Tebow,but after seeing this i can't believe what a douche John Elway is.Truth is treason in the empire of lies.If you see "operation northwoods" documents report as soon as possible....if you see "PNAC' documents report it as soon as possible. If you see "building 7" report it...If you see "anwar alawaki" at a pentagon conference on terrorism 2 months after 911 report it.Apparently if i look at birds with binoculars i may be a terrorist? freedom?
