Info on what they are for and how best to use them copied from this WA-based organization: 

Why Whistles?

• Instant alert system
• Simple, cheap, effective
• Noise = visibility
• Turns silence into community action
• Warns others when ICE is in the area, so vulnerable people can get to safety and everyone else can come help

Together, we keep our communities safe. 

How It Works

• Wear a whistle around your neck or on your keychain
• Teach family and neighbors the code
• If you see ICE, blow your whistle. 
• If you hear a whistle, either:
  • Get to safety
  • Follow the sound, form a crowd, stay loud. 

Whistle Code #1 - ICE is Nearby

If you see ICE driving or lurking, blow your whistle intermittently: 

• PREE (pause pause) PREE (pause pause) PREE (pause pause) PREE (pause pause)

Whistle Code #2 - Abduction

If you see ICE attempting to grab someone, blow your whistle continuously:

• PREEEEEEEE PREEEEEEEEE PREEEEEEEE

In summary, blow your whistle more for scarier stuff.
