DENVER -- Calling it a way to train the individual in how to get involved, a new video detailing how terrorism works was debuted Monday for the public and the United States' Homeland Security director.

Janet Napolitano was already in town, speaking at the International Association of Chiefs of Police at the Convention Center downtown.

She viewed the video, along with Colorado Gov. Bill Ritter at the Cell, a nonprofit institution dedicated to raising awareness about terrorism. The museum is located in the Denver Civic Center Cultural Complex near the Denver Art Museum.

The Cell was founded by real estate mogul Larry Mizel, CEO of Richmond American Homes, who introduced Napolitano and Ritter.

Narrated by Broncos legend John Elway and KUSA anchor Kim Christiansen, the video started production in June, months before the war on terror would be fought in the Denver area.

Aurora resident Najibullah Zazi was arrested last month, accused of buying beauty supply chemicals in a conspiracy to use a weapon of mass destruction inside the U.S.

On Monday, Napolitano said the instructional video can help citizens understand what they can look for to disrupt terrorist activities.

She also credited law enforcement with improved communication in Zazi's arrest.

"One of the things that happened in Zazi that would not have happened prior to 9/11 is greater information sharing at the state and local to federal and federal to state and local," Napolitano said.

Ritter agreed, saying he was kept up to date in the Zazi investigation by the Colorado Information Analysis Center, or CIAC.

"Watching that unfold, it was within this state, it was not just adequate. I thought it happened, it took place in such a way, that we'd be very proud of our law enforcement officials," Ritter said.

If you see anything suspicious, you're encouraged to call 1-877-CIAC (2422).

Things to look for include surveillance, elicitation of information, impersonation, tests of security,funding, acquiring supplies, rehearsal, and deployment.
