There are additional protests being planned for this evening in Worcester and others could pop up around Worcester County. We all saw how Boston's peaceful protest March on Sunday became violent and destructive of various properties as a result of a few agitators who took advantage of a situation. 

It would be prudent to be sure that Churches, Schools and any other properties are closed and secure this evening and over the next few evenings to reduce the risk of "opportunistic" destruction. This would include removing and/or properly storing any removable or portable items near entrances or in parking areas that could be used for destroying windows or being lit on fire.

Thank you.
