Gov. Brown Activates State's Threat System in Response to Paris Attacks

By Bay City News Service

Governor Jerry Brown activated the California State Threat Assessment System in response to the killings Friday in Paris, the governor’s office said.

The California State Threat Assessment System assists in detecting, preventing, investigating and responding to criminal and terrorist activity, according to the governor’s office.

The system also disseminates facts and helps state, local, federal, tribes and the private sector communicate to take action on threats, Brown’s office said.

No known threats exist in California, but activating the system will help keep residents safe, according to the governor’s office.

Brown also said in response to the death of a California State University student in Paris, “On behalf of all Californian’s, Anne and I extend our deepest condolences to the Gonzalez family, Nohemi’s friends and the entire Long Beach State community impacted by this senseless tragedy.”

Nohemi Gonzalez died in the Paris killings, Brown’s office said. She was a California State University, Long Beach, student, according to governor’s office.
