Vermont will run an emergency alert test on Wednesday.
The Vermont Department of Public Safety will test the functionality of its Blue Alert System from 1:30 to 2:30 p.m. on Wednesday. This system is designed to spread information to the public when a law enforcement officer has been seriously injured, killed or gone missing in the line of duty, and if suspects involved have fled or continue to be a threat.
