“The death of Bin Laden does not mean the death of terrorism,” said Colonel Rick Fuentes, Superintendent of the New Jersey State Police. “Though the nation feels a sense of victory and justice, everyone in the law enforcement and intelligence community remains vigilant for terrorist retaliatory acts. The public should maintain the same attitude.”

The New Jersey State Police, in partnership with the New Jersey Office of Homeland Security, this morning reached out to Islamic, Jewish and Christian groups with which we have close ties to encourage the continued sharing of information. The strength of such partnerships and of our intelligence ties with agencies from the federal to the local levels defines our ability to protect our citizens.

Though there are no specific threats, the public should not be alarmed to see an increased uniformed presence at some public locations including key transportation hubs.
