Great advice from our friends at the Green River Police Department.

***NEVER HANDLE SUSPICIOUS ITEMS***

Call dispatch and report what you see, and let us handle the rest!

WHAT TO DO IF YOU FIND A SUSPICIOUS PACKAGE?

We’ve all seen something that has caught our eye. An abandoned package or backpack that may look suspicious — whether it’s in public, in or around a work site, or in our day-to-day activity. We could say it’s probably nothing, or, someone else will report it. Some have even picked up a package or bag and brought it to the police station or fire station.

We want to remind the public to report suspicious abandoned packages and/or items to dispatch rather than trying to open them or bring them in.

Safety Tips:
*Do not handle it or pick it up.
*Do not bring the item to the fire station, police department, or hospital.

*Do call dispatch and report any suspicious activity or packages.

Not every unattended item is necessarily a suspicious item. The distinction depends on the context, the circumstances of discovery, whether or not the contents can be seen without difficulty, and the location where it was found all have a direct bearing on where to draw the line between merely unattended and suspicious.

If you are suspicious, it is best to call it in. Needless to say, as with any suspicious activity. If you See Something, Say Something.
