There's another tool in the fight against terrorism and you can download it on your smartphone.

The app is really easy to use and allows you to be the eyes and ears for police when they're not around.

Reporting terrorism, there's an app for that. Pennsylvania State Police now have a new smartphone app that allows you to report any suspicious activity you see. It's called “See something, send something."

When you finally download the app, it's really easy to use. Say you see a suspicious person, like my photographer Joe. You can snap a picture and send it to police right away.

Not only can you capture photos and send them. But you can also write police a note attached to the photo.

"I think an app like that would definitely help out a lot,” commented Justin Sampson, who downloaded the app. “With the people in the area especially those who don't want to take the time and give a call or feel too much involved in it and just do a tweet or text, shoot it off like it never happened."

"I think it's a really good idea. It makes it a lot more convenient for people," added Jessica Thompson.

The app is free for android and iPhone users.

As for your personal information, the company that created this app says they don't store it.

That information is immediately purged from the system once police have the tip.
