TERRORISM AWARENESS FOR CITIZENS by CAO Karen Freund

Jul 08, 2003

Information from the Arizona Department of Public Safety

The security of Arizona depends greatly on citizen involvement. No Arizona law enforcement agency can effectively protect life and property without the support and cooperation of the citizens they serve. Arizona law enforcement agencies need help to assist us in countering terrorism, we ask you to be our eyes and ears.

Terrorists are trained to "blend in" and assimilate to their surroundings. Most terrorists acts are well organized and well planned. Terrorists will conduct training, surveillance, and "dry runs?¨ prior to the commission of a terrorist act. They like to strike at government and civilian targets in an effort to instill fear. Ironically, though the terrorist acts are an attempt to instill fear in you it is YOU that the terrorist fears most. . .☺
