New See Something Send Something App for Georgia

Everyone is being encouraged to download a free emergency app that is focused on reporting suspicious activity to law enforcement.  The See Something Send Something app was created by the Georgia Emergency Management Agency and Homeland Security, explains Rabun County Sheriff Chad Nichols.  “It is basically, if you see any type of suspicious activity when you are traveling throughout our state, where it is here locally or in Atlanta, just an easier way with the way cellphone usage is now to download that app and if you see someone suspicious walking around with a fat-pack or doing something and think I wonder if they have a bomb or if you see something that might align with some terrorism type activity, just shoot that information out and it goes to the Georgia Information Sharing and Analysis Center, GISAC, in Atlanta.  This big information center in Georgia then vets the information, run it against some of their databases, and then they reach out to whatever jurisdiction that it is covering and that jurisdiction is allowed to follow up. So, I think they are just making a way to streamline suspicious activity and this is, I think with technology these days, a great way to do so.” This new See Something Send Something app is free to download and is available for both Apple and Android devices.
