Austin, TX – With the holiday season underway, the Texas Department of Public Safety (DPS) is urging residents to remain alert and report suspicious activity through its iWatchTexas program. The reminder, shared by DPS this week, emphasizes that quick reporting can help protect families and communities during one of the busiest times of the year.
According to DPS, submitting a report through the iWatchTexas mobile app or website takes less than five minutes and allows users to directly share information with law enforcement. The system is designed for public safety tips, not emergencies, which should still be directed to 911.
Officials note that the holiday season often brings larger crowds, increased travel, and higher activity around public events—factors that can make community awareness especially important. “If you see something, do something,” DPS stated, encouraging Texans to download the app and stay prepared.
The iWatchTexas program supports the state’s broader “See Something, Say Something” initiative, aimed at preventing threats and suspicious behavior from going unreported.
Residents can learn more or file a report by visiting or downloading the app on their mobile device.
