National Terrorism Advisory System

 

All Americans share responsibility for the nation’s security and should always be aware of the heightened risk of a terrorist attack in the United States and what they should do.

See Something, Say Something

 

The Asheville Police Department encourages everyone to report suspicious activity to local law enforcement. It’s easy to take for granted routine moments in our every day – going to work or school, the grocery store or gas station.

So if you see something you know shouldn’t be there – or someone’s behavior that doesn’t seem quite right – say something! Because only you know what’s supposed to be in your everyday.
