A timely reminder to be safe and remain vigilant. It takes all citizens to be alert to what’s happening in our communities.  As Public Health professionals and MRC members we must be ready and able to respond to such unimaginable acts of terror with an organized approach for public safety.

"If You See Something, Say Something™"

Informed, alert individuals play a critical role in keeping our nation safe, if you see something suspicious, report it. 

To report suspicious activity, contact your local law enforcement agency and describe specifically what you observed, including:

·         Who or what you saw;

·         When you saw it;

·         Where it occurred; and

·         Why it's suspicious.

If there is an emergency, call 9–1–1.
