Gov. Spanberger leads Virginia public safety readiness briefing

RICHMOND, Va. — Virginia Gov. Abigail Spanberger met with public safety leaders from across the commonwealth Monday as part of a "unified readiness" coordination effort.

The governor met with police and fire chiefs, sheriffs, emergency managers and private sector members — including Dominion Energy — to discuss Virginia's commitment to public safety, intelligence sharing and interagency collaboration.

“As global tensions continue to evolve, I want to be very clear: there are no known threats specific to Virginia at this time," Spanberger said. "Today’s briefing was about making sure that information can be shared quickly and we remain at the ready."

The meeting relates to Spanberger's Executive Order 12, which she says reaffirms Virginia’s commitment to public safety, community trust, and readiness.
