The Illinois State Police is working to ensure the public’s safety for Tuesday’s election.
The I-S-P has been preparing for months, participating in readiness exercises, and utilizing the statewide terrorism and intelligence center to analyze potential threats, and it will continue says Director Brendan Kelly.
“The Illinois State Police will support state, local, and federal partners as needed with threats to public officials, bomb threats, suspicious packages, and other serious criminal investigations that could be related to elections.”
Kelly says extra patrols will be available to help local police with any issues at polling places as well.
