In February, Detective Chief Inspector John Caldwell was shot several times at a sports centre in Omagh.
He had been putting footballs into a car with his young son after coaching a youth sports team when he was targeted.
The detective survived the attack and police are trying to track down the offenders.
There is no suggestion the security alert and the shooting are linked.
