Threat at Carroll High School results in increased police presence, patrols
Alexandria RodriguezCorpus Christi ISD police are increasing patrols at Carroll High School after a report of a threat.
On Wednesday, Carroll principal Jamie Copeland posted a notice to parents on Facebook.
"This afternoon, we received a report of a possible threat against our campus," the post reads. "We immediately alerted CCISD police, began investigating, and the threat has not been substantiated."
Police will increase patrols and security on campus as a precaution, CCISD Police Chief Kirby Warnke said.
In the post, Copeland encourages parents to talk to their children about the importance of reporting threats and the consequences of making a threat, the post reads.
The threat comes two days after the Corpus Christi Police Department and CCISD police attended an FBI campaign kickoff for school threats. At the kickoff, police said they take all threats seriously and indicated they would not hesitate to arrest those who make threats.
Anyone with information about the threat should call 361-888-8477. Anyone with questions can call the school at 361-878-5140.
