Bavaria Military Community (Grafenwoehr, Hohenfels and Garmisch) American and German Colleague Telephonic Notification - continued We are required to conduct unannounced tests of our telephonic contact procedures, which means that your supervisor will need your personal phone number and will likely call you after normal duty hours. This does not mean you are required to wait by the phone or carry a cell phone. Our telephone contact procedures are similar to what we would do to inform you that there are weather delays, early release or other emergency situations. If you decide not to provide your contact information you may arrive at the installation to find out there are long lines and you may not be able to enter based on the Force Protection situation. As a trusted and valued employee we are required to keep you informed and must meet our directed mission requirements in the best interest of our workforce and community members. We do not intend to make you overly concerned that a threat or situation will happen in our communities, but must be prepared in the event it does or if we are directed to increase our protection posture.

In addition, all personnel can keep the BMC safe by reporting any and all suspicious activities they may observe immediately to the Military Police or Host Nation (HN) Polizei. Numerous studies suggest that the single biggest contribution an individual can make to keep our community safe is to report suspicious activities. Preventing crime and terrorism is a community effort and we depend on everyone's assistance to keep our entire community safe. You are the one who knows best what does or does not belong where you live, work, and play – on or off-post. By knowing what suspicious indicators are and reporting all observed suspicious activities – you are making a difference. To report suspicious activities call: Grafenwoehr Military Police: DSN: 476.2490/3397 CIV: 09662.83.2490/3397 Hohenfels Military Police: DSN: 466.2812 or 114 CIV: 09472.83.2812 Garmisch Military Police: DSN: 440-3801/3827 or 114 CIV: 08821-750-3801/3827 German Authorities: 110 for police 112 for fire/ambulance

Be sure to include the date, time, and location of activity; number of persons involved; number and types of vehicles involved; type of activity observed; and describe what you saw or heard. For additional information on suspicious activity indicators please contact usarmy.grafenwoehr.imcom.list.usag-grafenwoehr-dptmsat@mail.mil for a pamphlet on what to look for, whom to contact, and how to report. Help keep our community safe.
