Press Release
September 9, 2011
The Dothan Police Department would like to take a few moments to share with our community that our department along with many other agencies nation wide will intensify our security efforts in the City of Dothan as our nation prepares for the ten year anniversary of the 9/11 attacks. Counterterrorism officials say there is no intelligence pointing to a specific plot, but as Law Enforcement Officials we are certainly aware that there are individuals who may find September 11 as a time to make a violent statement. In response to this knowledge our city will have an increase in patrolmen along with other resources in strategic places. While Dothan is not considered a large metro city, our area certainly is not immune to the potential for threats and because of our close proximity to Florida Ports of Call, Farley Nuclear Plant, and numerous airports we must be vigilant in our awareness of 9/11 security risks. We would like remind our citizens that while fear should not shadow this time of remembrance, vigilance is a precaution we must all be mindful of. The Dothan Police Department will take appropriate and prudent security measures to prevent violence against the wiregrass and be ready to quickly respond should any threats emerge.
Gregory J. Benton
Chief of Police
