| Summary: | When is it appropriate to call the police due to an action that you have witnessed? When you see a person doing something suspicious? When you see an actual crime take place? The idea of "If you see something, say something" has trickled down in the United States culture from being an anti-terrorism campaign following the terrorist attacks on September 11, 2001, to serving as a reminder within communities that if you see "something," you should report it to law enforcement. However, the question remains: What serves as that "something" that you are reporting? The business case follows Beth, a small business owner in Prattville, Alabama, who on a Sunday morning run finds herself intrigued by a blue SUV that is consistently moving from parking lot to parking lot as pedestrians near the vehicle. She finds the behavior odd and suspicious, but she struggles with the concept of calling 911 and implying the driver, who she cannot see, has possibly committed a crime. Students will be asked to analyze and convey the importance of business owners understanding their roles in the community while also assisting in keeping their community safe. |
