• Baseline - Establish a baseline of what normal behaviors and activities look like for your location. Anything outside of the “norm” can be considered suspicious.

• Materials - Terrorists and criminals acquire materials to create a homemade or improvised explosive device. Some of these can be ordinary items while others are carefully monitored or controlled.
• Bomb-Building Activity - Potential indicators of bomb-building activity include evidence of bomb-making research, testing of mixtures or devices, and chemical exposure such as stains or burns.
• Elicitation - Elicitation is an attempt to discreetly gain information by asking questions about a place, person, or operation. Elicitation often appears as normal social or professional conversation.
• Respond - Report suspicious activity. When a suspicious incident occurs, be observant so you can provide a detailed report. Public safety and security are everyone’s responsibility.
