DPS Advises Public to Download iWatchTexas Amid Potential Homeland Security Threats

DPS is urging Texans to download the iWatchTexas mobile app to protect the public from potential homeland security threats, considering recent international events. Using iWatchTexas, everyone can take an active role in protecting Texas communities from possible terror attacks.

iWatchTexas is a critical tool that allows Texans to report suspicious activity that may relate to criminal, terrorist or school safety-related threats. Often, preparations for crimes, terrorist attacks and threats to school safety may be seen by someone but not reported.

When in doubt, DPS encourages everyone to speak up. Submit a report to iWatchTexas using:

• The (FREE) iWatchTexas mobile app;

• The iwatchtx.org website; or

• Or by calling 844-643-2251.
