Morris County OEM Encourages Vigilance in Reporting Suspicious Activity

Following Monday's Boston Marathon explosions that left dozens injured at the finish line of the famous annual race, the Morris County Office of Emergency Management issued a statement on their Facebook page.

"We have received a number of calls from citizens concerning the explosion at the Boston Marathon," the county OEM said. "We are encouraging everyone to be vigilant and follow the 'if you see something, say something' philosophy."

The county also advised that the state has a terrorism tip line staffed by trained employees. 

"We have been in touch with our emergency response community and we will continue to monitor this tragic event," the county office said. "Our continued prayers are with the victims and their families."

To reach the state's 24-hour terrorism tip line, call toll-free 2-1-1 or 1-866-4SAFE-NJ or email tips@njhomelandsecurity.gov. For all emergencies, dial 911 and for non-emergencies, contact your local police department.
