Baltimore County Public Safety Update
ORIGINAL October 13, 2023
The Baltimore County Police Department continues to closely monitor all available intelligence and information regarding possible threats related to ongoing events in Israel and the Middle East. At this time, federal Homeland Security advises they have not identified any credible threats of violence focused on targets in the United States. BCoPD is reaching out to leaders of Jewish and Muslim faith communities in the County and providing increased police presence in and around synagogues, mosques, and other Jewish and Muslim institutions. All residents are being urged to report any suspicious activity immediately.
In the event that public gatherings are planned, such as rallies, protests, or vigils, BCoPD will, as always, make every effort to support the organizers and participants to ensure that such gatherings are peaceful, safe, and successful.
