Missoula, MT — The Missoula Police Department is closely monitoring recent reports of threats against schools across Montana, including those in Great Falls, Kalispell, Bozeman, and Billings. Although authorities have not confirmed any of the threats to be credible, local law enforcement is taking precautions to ensure the safety of the community.
In a statement released earlier this week, the Missoula Police Department reassured the public that while no verified threats to Missoula schools have been identified, the department is taking the situation seriously. As a precautionary measure, police presence at local schools has been increased.
“We are aware of the recent reports and are closely monitoring the situation,” the department said in its statement. “The safety of our students, staff, and community members is our top priority. While there is no verified threat to our schools, we are taking these reports seriously and are committed to maintaining a safe learning environment.”
The department also urged parents, students, and other community members to remain vigilant. Authorities encouraged anyone who notices suspicious activity to report it immediately to law enforcement.
The increased patrols are part of a broader effort to ensure that students and staff feel safe as the school year continues. Missoula police emphasized that they are working closely with school officials and other local agencies to address any potential threats swiftly and effectively.
“We understand that these reports can cause concern, but we want to assure the public that we are doing everything in our power to protect the community,” the statement concluded.
While the situation remains under close observation, there has been no indication of a specific threat to Missoula schools. Local law enforcement has urged the public to stay informed through official channels and to continue to report any information that might help in safeguarding the community.
