After reading a post on Facebook concerning alleged gang threats against law enforcement and corrections officers, Jim Young Reporter was unable to confirm the information.
After seeing more postings, we contacted the TBI media office and received the following response this morning:
"We cannot confirm a specific threat to officer safety in East Tennessee. However, last week, we were requested to provide a situational awareness message to law enforcement agencies for general officer safety. There was no specific threat. Because the message was requested by another agency as part of ongoing investigative efforts, we’re not able to provide any other specifics.
Regards, Susan Niland"
