On Friday's anniversary of 9/11 Miami Police filled an auditorium with their private sector partners for a refresher on the "See Something Say Something" campaign.
Alexandria Brown, who manages two buildings on Brickell Key, appreciates the outreach.
"As a property manager it's my responsibility to make sure I am educating and supporting everyone so they know what they need to do in instances like that," Brown said.
An FBI agent presented an update on the constantly evolving threat of terrorism and a representative with the FAA briefed the crowd on the do's and don'ts of drone technology.
Police also showed off their latest crime-fighting technology, a new surveillance system with cameras looking in on some of the city's hotspots.
Officer Alex Rivera is in charge of the closed circuit television room, almost 30 cameras, some on Biscayne Boulevard, others in high crime areas. It is a police presence even when officers are not in the neighborhood.
"They're going to be either investigative for after-the-fact situations, or they're going to be when we have an issue that is ongoing, at this moment we can have an eye on whatever the situation is right from this room," Rivera said.

One camera helped solve a deadly crime back in July by clearly identifying a taxi cab that hit a person and took off.
"Within five minutes of us being in this room we were able to visualize the offender, the direction that the vehicle went in and to be able to get the registration information on the owner of that vehicle," Rivera said.
On 9/11, a grim date on America's calendar, it's an opportunity for police and their partners to talk about remaining vigilant.
