See-N-Say - Reclamation's Suspicious Activity Reporting

You play a critical role in the safety and security of your facility and your fellow employees!

You are the best resource Reclamation has when looking to prevent terrorist or criminal activities from taking place. To enlist your help in preventing these types of activities, Reclamation has started the See-N-Say suspicious activity reporting initiative. This puts you on the security and law enforcement team by providing you with the resources and knowledge needed to recognize and report suspicious activity in and around your facility.

No matter how many security and law enforcement personnel you have at your facility, they cannot be everywhere at all times. You must play an active role in protecting your facility and fellow employees.

The key is knowing what to look for, what to report & how to report it.

Here are some examples of suspicious activities you may observe; however this list is by no means all inclusive. Bottom line, if you see something that looks or feels suspicious, report it!
