Rocky Fire Emergency Management Director, Michael Garrahy, and Commissioner Ronnell A. Higgins, of the CT Department of Emergency Services and Public Protection provide a reminder for Connecticut residents to report any suspicious activities they observe.
For Immediate Release
A Message from Commissioner Ronnell A. Higgins, of the CT Department of Emergency Services and Public Protection Recent events in New Orleans and Las Vegas provide another reminder for Connecticut residents to promptly report any suspicious activities they observe. While Connecticut officials are not aware of any current credible threats in Connecticut, I ask residents to remain vigilant.
Providing a detailed report of suspicious activity can help prevent a violent crime or a terrorist attack. Suspicious activity may be reported through the CT Safe Mobile App, through a phone call, or by filling out a report online. Emergencies should always be reported to police through a 9-1-1 call.
The CT Department of Emergency Services and Public Protection recently launched an updated version of the CT Safe Mobile App, available for both Android and Apple iOS. People may also report suspicious activity by calling 860-HLS-TIPS, or by making an online report to the Connecticut Division of Emergency Management and Homeland Security.
I assure citizens of Connecticut that our employees, from the Connecticut State Police to the Division of Emergency Management and Homeland Security, are ready at any time to respond to any potential threats to citizens of this state.
The Connecticut Intelligence Center advises that potential threat indicators include:
• Unusual or prolonged interest in, or attempts to gain, access to sensitive information about security measures;
• Discreet use of cameras or video recorders;
• Unusual observation of or questions about security measures;
• Attempted or unauthorized access to rooftops or other potentially sensitive areas;
• Unusual modifications to vehicles, including reinforcing the front with metal plates.
“If You See Something, Say Something.”
Again, Connecticut officials are not aware of any current credible threats in Connecticut.
