According to police reports, a technical malfunction disrupted the Vermont State Police news release email list on the morning of January 8, 2026. The issue prevented news releases from being processed by the server, affecting their delivery to intended recipients.
Police say they are currently collaborating with the Agency of Digital Services to rectify the problem as soon as possible. In the meantime, important news releases are being sent directly to recipients through blind copy emails to ensure critical information is still communicated.
The Vermont State Police assures the public that once the technical issue is resolved, all releases that were not distributed during the outage will be processed and sent out. This situation highlights the agency’s commitment to maintaining effective communication, even amidst unforeseen challenges.
As the situation develops, updates will be provided regarding the resolution of the technical difficulties. Any changes in the service or future communications will be communicated to the public as they occur.
