TERRORISM
The following are various
measures of preparedness that will assist you and your loved ones in cases of
emergency.
SUSPICIOUS ACTIVITY
A person’s behavior,
NOT his/her appearance, makes them a
suspect of criminal or terrorist activities. Be aware of suspicious or unusual
behavior. Suspicious criminal or terrorist activity should be reported to the
proper authorities. Do not take the law into your own hands. If you see or hear
suspicious activity, please call Wayne Police Department 375-2626. Additionally,
you may also provide information to the Federal
Bureau of Investigation,Omaha
493-8688, or visit their website: www.ifccfbi.gov.
HATE CRIMES
The Wayne Police
Department does not tolerate any type of hate crime. Criminal acts that are
motivated because of a person's actual or perceived race, religion, national
origin, ancestry, sexual orientation, gender, or disability must be reported
within the jurisdiction wherein they may occur. If a hate crime is committed
within the City of Wayne, please call Wayne Police Department at 375-2626, or
if an emergency, dial 9-1-1.
Precautions
you can take:
·
When traveling, do
not accept items from strangers or leave luggage unattended.
·
When in congested
public areas, learn where emergency exits and staircases are located.
·
Avoid forming or
joining large crowds during stressful times. Large events in important cities
or locations are likely targets of terrorist attacks.
·
At work, review
emergency evacuation procedures. Know where fire exits are located.
·
Review discussion on
terrorism at the Federal Emergency Management Agency’s (FEMA) website: www.fema.gov/library/terrorf.htm.
In any disaster situation,
listen for news and emergency information on the radio.
Remember to remain calm to be able to think clearly
during a difficult time. Your composure will help guide you and your loved ones
through any difficult situation.
To report
a non-emergency situation, call 375-2626 (available 24 hours). To report an
emergency, call 9-1-1.
