Its quite possible they were notified by LE and did become immediately active.
I couldn't tell by the conversation I had with the guy who took my call and I didn't ask the question. Just gave him my name, number, and address, told him what I'd read and how he could find it to read himself, and what my conerns are.
I don't know what the standard procedure is in these cases. Odds are DCF was probably already notified by LE and knew about this before talking to me, but for my own peace of mind I'm glad I made the call.
