It read “Hacked by Team System Dz. I Love Islamic state.”

A voice can be heard in the background speaking in a foreign language.

Police Chief Troy Cooper says the department’s information technology staff was working to overcome the hack.

He says the breach doesn’t affect the police department’s operations.

“This is merely a website contamination and has no connection to police operations or data,” Cooper said.

The police service said more information on the hack would be released later Wednesday.
