IF YOU SEE SOMETHING, 

SAY SOMETHING

The goal of reporting suspicious activity is simple: educate the public about behaviors and activities that may have connection to terrorism.

Las Vegas is home to 25 of the 40 largest hotels in the world, with 23 of them along the two-mile strip. As such Las Vegas is consistently ranked as a potential target for a terrorist incident. A terrorist incident would impact all of us. Each of us has an obligation to safeguard our community and our livelihood by:

• Being more vigilant

• Being aware of our surroundings

• Reporting anything suspicious through appropriate channels

In other words, "if you see something, ay something."
