If you see something suspicious, make sure you speak up and report it. The recent case in Cleveland reminds us that police officials work for us and it is their job to follow each and every lead the public generates.
If you've seen any crime committed, you should report all crimes so that the public safety officials can investigate. Reporting crime must always be done, no matter how small or insignificant the crime.
Persons committing the crimes can continue if you do not report what you have seen or experienced. You should never be afraid to report any crime that you see or know about.
If you see someone breaking the law, write down their license plate and a brief description and make sure you not only report it, but document that report with the officer's name and badge number.
