DPS asks citizens to report suspicious behavior

In the wake of the widely reported June 12 mass shooting in Orlando, Florida, the Texas Department of Public Safety called on Texans to pay close attention to what’s happening in their own communities.

 

DPS Director Steven McCraw on June 17 said, “Amid today’s ever-present threat of terrorism and crime, we are reminded that members of the public can be law enforcement’s greatest resource.”

 

And, he said, “When law enforcement and communities work together to combat crime, we are inherently more successful.” He urged individuals to report illegal or suspicious behavior they see to iWATCH or to their local authorities. “By speaking up, you could save a life,” Mc-Craw added.
