In each North Dakota community, residents adopted heightened security measures in the wake of September 11th. A private, public and individual partnership to "Watch the Neighborhood" evolved, emphasizing the necessity to "lock the doors" and report any suspicious activities in neighborhoods; schools; workplaces; high-profile, heavily-attended events; and key facilities.

As a result of these efforts, North Dakota, on state and local levels, has evaluated and adjusted training and operational initiatives; incorporated aviation security measures; heightened security of key facilities; increased intelligence gathering and sharing among law enforcement, military and public agencies; enhanced direct communications with federal counterparts; and launched public information campaigns designed to empower individuals and organizations at the local level.
