CONCORD, N.H. (MyKeeneNow) State public safety officials are encouraging residents and visitors in New Hampshire to remain aware of their surroundings and report suspicious activity, even as authorities say there are currently no credible threats to the state.
The message was shared by the New Hampshire Department of Safety, the New Hampshire Division of Homeland Security and Emergency Management and the New Hampshire State Police, which say community awareness is an important part of maintaining public safety.
Officials say law enforcement and emergency management agencies continue working closely with federal, state and local partners to monitor potential threats. While there are no known risks currently facing New Hampshire, authorities say it remains important for the public to stay alert, particularly as global events continue to change.
State officials are also promoting the nationwide If You See Something, Say Something campaign, which encourages people to report behavior or situations that may indicate criminal or terrorism-related activity.
Authorities say residents and visitors can help protect their communities by paying attention to unusual situations and notifying local law enforcement or calling 911 if something appears suspicious. In New Hampshire, tips can also be reported anonymously by calling 223-3860 or through an online reporting form.
Examples of suspicious activity may include unattended bags or packages, vehicles parked in unusual locations, or individuals asking detailed questions about building operations or security procedures beyond normal curiosity. Repeated observation of a location, taking measurements, or documenting an area in ways that appear out of the ordinary may also be considered suspicious.
Officials recommend that anyone reporting suspicious activity provide as many details as possible, including who was involved, what was observed, when and where the activity occurred, and why it appeared concerning.
Authorities say law enforcement agencies across the state remain prepared to respond to potential threats and continue prioritizing the safety of residents and visitors.
The state’s homeland security office also provides free safety awareness materials, including posters and brochures, to schools, businesses and community organizations throughout New Hampshire.
