Eyes and Ears on Kentucky

Eyes and Ears on Kentucky is an anonymous telephone tip line that allows Kentuckians to report any suspicious criminal or terrorist activity they may see or hear. The tip line is sponsored by the Kentucky Office of Homeland Security and Kentucky Intelligence Fusion Center.

The tip line is 1-866-EYE-ON-KY (1-866-393-6659). Citizens can also report suspicious activity regarding homeland security or crime online at www.homelandsecurity.ky.gov/tipline.

 Suspicious activity may include persons:
• asking unusual questions about building security;
• taking photographs or videos of buildings, bridges or other locations;
• asking detailed questions about the schedules of public transportation;
• seen timing the arrival and departure of public transportation;
• loitering around reservoirs, water-treatment plans; dams or power plants;
• watching a building for extended periods of time.
Citizens should also be aware of suspicious vehicles parked in unusual places or at unusual times.

 In cases of emergency, individuals should call 911 or local law enforcement.  Kentuckians can also prepare for any type of emergency – natural or manmade – by preparing a family-disaster plan and emergency-supply kit. Information can be found by visiting www.homelandsecurity.ky.gov/community.
