A Message From FPS Superintendent Michael J. Testani – Security Update For Friday, October 13
Dear FPS Families,
You may have heard on the news or social media about global threats planned for October 13. We have been working closely with the Fairfield Police Department, and it has been communicated to me that there is no actionable intelligence of a threat to our schools or community. However, out of an abundance of caution, there will be an increased police presence across the district and town tomorrow. Please see the below statement from the Fairfield Police Department for additional information.
I want to assure the community that our primary concern is for the physical and emotional well-being of students and staff. It is critical that if your child experiences any form of prejudice or bias they should report it to a school official immediately so it can be addressed. Such behaviors will not be tolerated. Should you have any further questions or concerns, please reach out to your school administrator.
Sincerely,
Michael J. Testani
FPS Superintendent of Schools
A Statement From The Fairfield Police Department
The Fairfield Police Department is aware of several calls to action from foreign organizations threatening global violence on Friday, Oct. 13. We have been in contact with Federal authorities who have been actively monitoring global intelligence and have found no credible threat to Fairfield or our surrounding communities at this time.
We remain in communications with Federal, state and local law enforcement partners. While there is no known credible threat to our community, Fairfield Police will have an increased patrol presence at our schools, places of worship, and other areas throughout town. Please keep in mind that this conflict remains dynamic, however we will keep our community informed of any updates that may come.
We ask the community to also remain vigilant and report any suspicious activities to the police department immediately.
