Launch of WiWatch Campaign
Friday, September 28, 2012
 

On Friday, September 28, 2012, Attorney General J.B. Van Hollen joined Governor Scott Walker, Major General Donald Dunbar, and Assistant Secretary for Department of Homeland Security Betsy Markey as well as federal, state and local law enforcement officials to launch the “If You See Something, Say Something ™” campaign in Wisconsin.   The national public awareness campaign is coordinated by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security to encourage citizens to report suspicious activity.  Wisconsin’s campaign is being coordinated by the state’s two fusion centers – the Southeastern Wisconsin Threat Analysis Center (STAC) in Milwaukee and the Wisconsin Statewide Information Center (WSIC), which is in Madison and operated by the Wisconsin Department of Justice.  Both fusion centers serve local, county and state public safety customers by sharing intelligence, offering training on the behaviors and indicators of terrorism, protecting Wisconsin critical infrastructure through risk assessments, and analyzing national threat information as it relates to Wisconsin.  Information about  the program “If You See Something, Say Something ™” in Wisconsin is located at www.wiwatch.org.  If you witness something suspicious, call 9-1-1 or dial toll-free, 877-WI-WATCH.
