WISE ASKS COUNTY COMMISSIONS FOR HELP FORMING WEST VIRGINIA WATCH
Posted by: Allen Canfield on Tue, 05 February 2002 14:27:15 (790 Reads)
CHARLESTON, W.Va. -- Gov. Bob Wise announced today that he would be asking for help from county leaders in forming West Virginia Watch.
Wise spoke before nearly 200 people at the Partnership for Homeland Security, Government and Industry Working Together conference.
“Since September 11, many Americans, including many West Virginians, have expressed a desire to participate actively in the fight against terrorism,” said Wise. “State, county and municipal law enforcement and emergency service officers are dealing with bomb threats, suspicious mailings, hoaxes and other types of criminal activity that were not part of our everyday lives prior to those tragic events. This has placed a strain on the budgets of government at all levels.”
Wise asked each president to appoint a county coordinator to oversee West Virginia Watch in the designated county. County coordinators will be asked to encourage responsible citizens to participate in this program and to cooperate with the state coordinator.
West Virginia Watch members will not have law enforcement authority, nor will they carry firearms.
The West Virginia State Police will be responsible for monitoring intelligence reports and initiating action.
