#HARTFORD, CT – In the wake of the terror attacks in Brussels, Governor Dannel P. Malloy today is reminding those in Connecticut to be aware of their surroundings and if they see something suspicious, say something by contacting authorities.

“Keeping our citizens safe is our number one priority, and the public’s vigilance is critical to keeping authorities informed and protecting Connecticut from potential threats,” Governor Malloy said.  “There are currently no credible threats to the United States or Connecticut, but we cannot be complacent.  Please be aware of your surroundings at all times and report any suspicious activity immediately to the proper authorities.”

People who see something out of the ordinary should call the state’s 24-hour Homeland Security Tip Line at 1-866-HLS-TIPS (1-866-457-8477).  If immediate attention is necessary, people should call 9-1-1 and inform the operator about what they saw and what struck them as concerning.
