WATERBURY, Vt. (AP) - A Blue Alert drill planned for earlier this month has been rescheduled to next week, Vermont Department of Public Safety said Tuesday.

The Blue Alert is used when a law enforcement officer has been seriously injured, killed, or is missing in the line of duty.

As part of the exercise on Dec. 30, messages will be sent to thousands of subscribers and information about the drill will be on the Vermont Agency of Transportation boards. Television and radio stations will get texts.



Phone alerts will only be sent to people who signed up for VT-ALERT.
