The Niagara County Sheriff's Office and U.S. Border Patrol are hosting a question-and-answer session regarding illegal border crossings.

NIAGARA COUNTY, N.Y. — Recent suspicious activity along the Niagara River and Lake Ontario borders has caused the Niagara County Sheriff's Office to increase patrols throughout the areas. 

Along with this, they have also decided to host an upcoming question-and-answer session for those who want to learn more from the U.S. Customs and Border Protection officials. The session will be at 5 p.m. on Feb. 8 at the Porter Town Hall.

In a social media post made on Wednesday by Niagara County Sheriff's Office, they wrote:

"NCSO and our law enforcement partners have experienced an increase in suspicious activity reports along the Niagara River and Lake Ontario. Patrols have been increased throughout the area, but we need your help in order to respond effectively — If you see something, say something — contact the US Border Patrol Buffalo Sector Citizen Tip Line at 1-800-331-0353, or 911 in an emergency."
