 COMMUNITIES DEFEAT TERRORISM
MAKE NOTHING HAPPEN
You can help police keep communities safe by reporting your
concerns about suspicious activity on 0800 789 321. Your call
could save lives.
Don’t worry about wasting our time or getting someone into
trouble. Let us decide if the information is important. What you
tell us is treated in the strictest confidence and is thoroughly
researched by experienced officers before, and if, any police
action is taken. No call or click will be ignored.
Be aware of what is going on around you – of anything that strikes
you as different or unusual, or anyone that you feel is acting
suspiciously – it could be someone you know or even someone or
something you notice when you are out and about that doesn’t feel
quite right.
Examples of suspicious activity could include someone who:
•  appears to be carrying out surveillance; taking photos of security
arrangements for example;
•  has firearms or other weapons or has shown an interest in getting
them;
•  is visiting the dark web, or ordering unusual items online;
•  has bought or hired a vehicle in suspicious circumstances;
•  has bought or stored large amounts of chemicals, fertiliser or
gas cylinders for no obvious reasons, or is researching acquiring
these items;
•  has undergone an extreme and unexplained change in their
behaviour;
•  is carrying out suspicious transactions on their bank account;
•  holds passports or other documents in different names for no
obvious reason;
•  travels for long periods of time, but is vague about where
they’re going.

Remember – in an emergency always dial 999.
