Police are prepared for unrest in downtown Madison over the coming days, though have not heard of any specific threats.
Mayor Satya Rhodes-Conway and Interim Police Chief Vic Wahl spoke on law enforcement preparations at a briefing Thursday morning. Wahl said that Madison police would maintain an “enhanced staffing posture” through Jan. 20, the day Joe Biden will assume the office of President of the United States.
The FBI warned of attempts to organize “armed protests” in all 50 state capitals and Washington D.C. around the inauguration. Wahl reiterated that no specific threat to Madison has been made.
