Rockland police are in a “heightened stage” of alert as there are concerns of growing cases of gun violence, and anti-Semitism and anti-LGBTQ activities around the nation.

Several shootings recently in the city have also contributed to the increased state of alert by local authorities, though the sheriff says no specific threat has been made to any Rockland institution or groups of people.
