The press conference to announce the unveiling of the initiative will be at 10:30 a.m. in the Colonial Room at White’s of Westport, 66 State Road, according to a news release from Gregg Miliote, a spokesman for DA Quinn.

Quinn will be joined at the news conference by members of the Massachusetts State Police Violent Fugitive Apprehension Section and police chiefs from across Bristol County, he said.
