The Seven Signs of Terrorism
The Michigan State Police produced this video called "The Seven Signs of Terrorism." The video will introduce the seven signs of terrorism. It is intended to provide information on the signs or indicators that may predict a possible terrorist attack. Each one of us has a responsibility to help protect our community, state and country. It is important that all citizens have a basic ability to recognize the signs of terrorism and to report suspicious activities to your state, county or local police department. Terrorism events are planned, organized, and carried out by individuals acting alone or in groups. It is important for all of us to realize that when a terrorist incident occurs, it affects everyone. As part of your daily routine, being observant and reporting anything out of the ordinary could be the crucial first step in preventing a possible terrorist plot or threat.
