On Wednesday, December 14th, 2011 Counter Terrorism Zone 4 (CTZ-4) will deploy its Counter Terrorism Action Teams (CTAT) to shopping areas and train stations within Orange, Rockland and Sullivan Counties.
CTZ-4 will utilize its Counter Terrorism Action Teams to deter terrorism activity within CTZ-4. These proactive teams will conduct random checks of high profile areas and educate the public so they can be more vigilant in recognizing and reporting suspicious activity.
The December 14th deployment will focus on increasing the security of the shopping public during the holiday season by increasing their awareness of potential terrorist activity. This will be accomplished by area law enforcement officers, assigned to a CTAT, engaging the public at area malls and train stations, discussing terrorist related indicators with shoppers and distributing “See Something Say Something” flyers. Specialized law enforcement officers will also be conducting commercial vehicle checks by targeting vehicles that make deliveries to the mall. The effort will involve 60 law enforcement personnel from 20 agencies.
