Plymouth, Mass. â Police issued an officer-safety BOLO in Plymouth Monday night after a man reportedly made direct threats toward specific police officers and sergeants and was believed to be carrying a 9mm handgun.
According to an automatically generated transcript of public dispatch audio obtained by CrimeRadar, Plymouth County police and emergency personnel were advised to stand by for a BOLO with âspecial attentionâ to Plymouth. The dispatch was issued at approximately 8:39 p.m. on Aug. 25, 2026.
The BOLO reportedly involved a black 2023 Chevrolet Silverado associated with an address near Summer Street in Plymouth. Dispatchers described the incident as a well-being check and an officer-safety concern.
Police were told that the male party had allegedly made direct threats involving contact with law enforcement. Dispatch specifically warned that threats had been directed toward identified Plymouth police officers and sergeants.
The dispatch further stated that the man was believed to have a 9mm handgun on his person.
âSWAT will be needed,â dispatch advised if police contact with the individual required a tactical response, according to the transcript.
Despite the reported threats and concern that the man may be armed, dispatch emphasized that officers did not have probable cause to arrest him at that time. The call was classified as a welfare check rather than an arrest situation.
Officers were repeatedly reminded that the situation presented an officer-safety concern.
