See Something, Say Something

In light of recent national events, the SEPTA Police Department is reminding the public to be aware of their surroundings and, if they see something out of the norm or suspicious, to report it immediately. The Transit Police are constantly monitoring to prevent, deter, detect and respond to any suspicious acts that may prevent SEPTA from moving the region. However, our customers play a vital role in helping identify suspicion. Become familiar with the characteristics and keep alert to any objects or people which could potentially cause more harm than good.

A Suspicious Person is Someone Who is:

• In an unauthorized area

• In the wrong place or appears lost

• Loitering and/or watching customers or employees

• Acting in a disorderly manner that alarms or disturbs others

• On SEPTA property without proper identification

• Expressing an unusual level of interest in operations, equipment, personnel or facilities

Suspicious Items Include:

• Unattended boxes, packages, or cases

• Tanks or bottles of chemicals

• Notes or messages attached to suspicious packages

• Unidentified mist, gas, vapor or odor

• Liquids appearing to be leaking or seeping from suspicious items

• Visibly dangerous weapons

If you see something suspicious, call the Transit Police (215) 580-8111 or dial 911. Take note of the location of the unattended package. Be able to provide a description of any potential persons involved. Avoid approaching persons who appear outwardly dangerous or threatening. Refrain from using any cellular or radio device within 50 feet of a suspicious item.

Together we can work together to help keep SEPTA safe for everyone.
