A Call From The Lacey Police Just Might Be A Good Thing

Sometimes a call from the police department can be a good thing.

For the rest of the week, Lacey police will be conducting a test of the township's Emergency Communications Network, dubbed "Code Red," Police Chief Michael C. DiBella said.

The message will state "This is a test of your community's code red emergency notification system. No action is required on your behalf. This is only a test. Had this been an actual emergency, you would receive important communications from your local officials. Again, this is only a test."

Not everyone will receive a call.

Police want to make sure the system has the proper connectivity for Lacey residents., the chief said.

"The Lacey Township Police Department is doing this to ensure our residents are provided with the necessary information in case of an actual emergency," DiBella said..

The department issue a press release when the testing is complete, he said.
