What does the Bravo/Elevated OPCON level signify?

The Bravo/Elevated Operational Condition (OPCON) level indicates a specific threat that has been identified and causes concern for public safety and security. This designation reflects an increased vigilance and preparedness in response to credible information suggesting that an attack or incident is possible. At this level, agencies are typically advised to enhance their security measures and readiness to respond to potential incidents that could arise from the identified threat.

Having a specific threat at the Bravo level necessitates focused actions, such as improved monitoring and potential tactical responses, distinguishing it from lower threat levels, where the risks may be less defined or more general in nature. This level emphasizes the need for heightened situational awareness and operational readiness to address the unique challenges posed by the identified threat.
