Law enforcement agencies from states including Tennessee, South Carolina, Virginia, Georgia, Florida and Alabama, have joined the National Suspicious Activity Reporting Initiative (NSI). In total, agencies from 14 states that make up the Southern Guardian consortium joined the program, U.S. Department of Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano announced Sept 1. The initiative, begun in partnership with the Los Angeles Police Department in 2008, has developed standardized definitions and methods of reporting suspicious activity that facilitate data sharing with law enforcement agencies across the country. Southern Guardian members join Washington, D.C., and at least 12 other sites throughout the country.
The expansion of the NSI also brings the ‘If You See Something, Say Something Campaign’ to these states.
