The Massachusetts State Police have "enhanced [their] capacity to respond to any potential incidents quickly if necessary" after Wednesday's mayhem in Washington, D.C., State Police Spokesman David Procopio tells GBH News.
At present, however, Procopio says the State Police are aware of no threats to public safety in Massachusetts.
The agency "continue[s] to monitor protest activity nationally and locally, and will be prepared for any contingencies that could threaten public safety in Massachusetts," Procopio said in a statement.
Asked by GBH News if specific measures have been taken at the State House or Gov. Baker's Swampscott home, which was the site of pro-Trump protests throughout 2020, Procopio declined comment, saying, "We don't disclose details of executive-protection operations."
On Wednesday, Procopio said, State Police monitored a march from Nubian Square to the State House that yielded no incidents or arrests of protesters or counterprotestors.
"Hopefully, anything that happens today continues in that vein," he said.
