MADISON, WI (WTAQ) – “See something, say something” are the watchwords heading into the July 4th weekend.
Tod Pritchard with Wisconsin Emergency Management says it’s better to err on the side of caution when something — or someone — doesn’t seem right.
“it may be nothing, but it could be something. and that’s why we’d rather have folks call law enforcement and have them check on something”
Pritchard says many events already have police or security present.
“like Summerfest or a ballgame. there’s usually some type of security that I would reach out and tell them about that”
If that’s not the case, call a police non-emegency number or 9-1-1.
“those little things could be significant. so, the police would much rather check out something and have it turn out to be nothing, than have it turnout to be something bad”
