The Department of Correction’s chief issued a number of precautions for officers to follow in the wake of anti-cop protests and the attempted assassination of cops in the Bronx, writing any situation cops find themselves in can now “escalate into a major, possibly life-threatening incident.”

Chief of Department Hazel Jennings wrote in a letter to commanders and other high-ranking personnel that correction officers should not wear uniforms or other department apparel if they ride public transportation to and from work.

“Advise loved ones and friends to refrain from wearing clothing items or carrying items brandishing the department name and logo, for their safety,” Jennings wrote in another precaution in the letter.

“Only uniformed staff that are firearms qualified shall be assigned to front entrance and other point of entry posts,” she added. “Uniformed staff assigned to such posts shall be armed and wearing their ballistic vests at all times while on duty.”

The letter comes as an anti-cop madman allegedly shot two police officers in separate assassination attempts in the Bronx this weekend.

Suspect Robert Williams was charged Sunday night with attempted murder, criminal possession of a weapon and resisting arrest for the two shootings on Saturday night and Sunday morning.

In her letter, Jennings warned that even mundane incidents have the potential to escalate into a worst-case scenario for cops.

“It is strongly emphasized that any situation, even one which may appear minor, can rapidly escalate into a major, possibly life-threatening incident,” she wrote.
