BECOME A TRAINED VOLUNTEER OR A PAID PROFESSIONAL

If you are a person who spends much of your time on or near the water, you already know what is normal and what is not and you are well suited to notice suspicious activities ─ activities possibly indicating threats to our nation's homeland security. As a participant in America's Waterway Watch we urge you to adopt a heightened sense of sensitivity toward unusual events or individuals you may encounter in or around ports, docks, marinas, riversides, beaches, or waterfront communities.

You should always remember that people are not suspicious, behavior is. And if you observe suspicious behavior or activity, you should simply note the details and contact local law enforcement. You are not expected to approach or challenge anyone acting in a suspicious manner.

America's Waterway Watch is a public outreach program, encouraging participants to simply report suspicious activity to the Coast Guard and/or other law enforcement agencies. Unlike some Neighborhood Watch programs, for example, you are not formally joining an organization -- there are no meetings, membership cards or membership requirements -- and you do not become an agent of the Coast Guard or any other law enforcement agency.

If you are interested in assisting in a more formal capacity, either as a paid professional or trained volunteer, you should consider a civilian or military career with the United States Coast Guard (http://www.gocoastguard.com) or joining a local flotilla of the Coast Guard Auxiliary (http://www.cgaux.org/) its civilian component of unpaid volunteers.
