In the tumultuous time of the coronavirus pandemic, residents have looked to the Federal Government for answers and financial relief from the crisis.
Now the local government will chime in to help assure residents in Prince William County know it’s still working for them despite the spread of the killer virus.
The Prince William County Police Department will hold a webinar, designed as a virtual outlet for residents around the area, to discuss their concerns about public safety during the statewide quarantine and the national economic shutdown.
“We are doing the Webinar to keep our community informed,” said Prince William police 1st Sgt. Jonathan Perok in an email to Potomac Local News. “Nothing in particular prompted it.”
The police officers are one of the many first responders on the front lines in the pandemic, so caution on their part is always imperative.
“Police operations are continuing with enhanced measures in place for health and safety of officers and the community. Pre-screening is being done as much as possible. Officers are being issued necessary PPE (personal protective equipment) gear,” Perok states.
The webinar will also discuss coronavirus scams, which have popped up since start of the pandemic. Some unsuspecting people in the U.S. have been charged for fake, drive-through coronavirus tests. Now more than ever, tt’s necessary for residents to stay informed.
“Scammers are routinely looking for ways to take advantage of vulnerabilities. Our scamming messaging has been proactive to inform, not reactive, to increases of such activity in the county,” Perok writes.
The webinar will be held at noon on April 14. You can participate by:
1. Clicking this link, provided to Potomac Local News by the police department.
2. Download the WebEx app when prompted.
Or you can dial in by phone by calling 1-202-860-2110 and, when prompted, enter meeting ID 473 391 440.
For those who miss the discussion, they can stay informed by reading the information posted on the department website after the virtual session.
Residents can also keep up to date on any policy announcements by following the Prince William County Police Department on Instagram, Twitter, Facebook, and YouTube.
