The Department of Public Safety and Texas Governor Greg Abbott have partnered together to launch a public service announcement intended to promote a community reporting system as this school year begins.
According to the Governor’s website, the iWatchTexas PSA will begin airing on television channels across Texas starting on Aug. 17.
The PSA was made in an effort to promote the iWatchTexas program which was created to make it easier for members of the public to report suspicious activity in the state, including criminal, terroristic, or school safety-related threats.
“There is nothing more important than keeping our schools and communities safe,” said Governor Abbott. “Parents, teachers, and students deserve to feel safe and secure returning to school this fall, and who better to help spread the message about the iWatchTexas reporting system than ‘Texas Ranger’ Chuck Norris. We ask Texans to utilize iWatchTexas to report nearby suspicious activity to help our law enforcement quickly and effectively respond to any criminal, terroristic, or school safety threats. If you see something, say something and together we can protect our children, teachers, and communities.”
Back in June, Abbott instructed DPS and other educational agencies to expand and accelerate their efforts to promote reporting suspicious activity witnessed through the new system.
