Suspicious activity scenarios can include anything from people trying to access restricted areas to leaving bags behind in public places.<\/p>\n<p>At UCF, the \u201cIf You See Something, Say Something\u201d campaign will include posters that will be featured across campus in addition to other public service announcements.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis partnership between UCF and the Department of Homeland Security aids in continuing to keep the UCF campus safe,\u201d said Jennifer Fleischman, plans and programs coordinator for the UCF Office of Emergency Management. \u201cWe look forward to continuing to build and enhance this program.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>When reporting suspicious activity to a law enforcement agency, it\u2019s important to follow instructions given by the communications operator, said Sgt. Troy Williamson, community relations supervisor for UCF Police.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt may seem like forever, but help is on the way, and the communications operator will stay on the line with you as long as it\u2019s needed,\u201d said Williamson. \u201cBe a good witness, and be descriptive about the problem, situation and suspects. When first responders arrive, tell the operator that help is there.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBy applying these simple protocols, you can save a life.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>UCF partners in the campaign include the Police Department, the Office of Emergency Management, Student Government Association, Parking and Transportation Services, and Housing and Residence Life.<\/p>\n<p>Suspicious activity should be reported to 1-855-FLA-SAFE (352-7233), Florida\u2019s toll-free suspicious-activity hotline. In an emergency, always dial 911 first.<\/p>\n<p>Additional information on the national &#8220;If You See Something, Say Something&#8221; campaign can be found here.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"One of the most effective ways to help keep any community safe is to report suspicious activity before crime occurs.
