Escanaba Public Safety continues to investigate a bomb threat that was called in on Wednesday to the Escanaba Schools, which led to a lockdown of students for most of the day.
On 10/19/22 at 9:49 a.m., Delta County Central Dispatch received a call at 9:49 a.m. on Wednesday, October 19 from a person claiming a bomb may have been planted at Escanaba High School.
Escanaba Public Safety responded following the call and worked with school officials to decide to institute the soft lock down. Bomb dogs from Michigan State Police and Delta Force Security were brought in to search the area schools, and officers were placed in each of the area schools for the remainder of the school day.
The dogs and officers searched the schools, but nothing suspicious was found.
Escanaba Public Safety is still investigating the source of the threat.
Detectives have worked with Delta County Central Dispatch, Michigan State Police, the FBI, and the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives (ATF) in an attempt to locate the suspect.
Escanaba Public Safety would like to thank the Delta County Central Dispatch, Network Communications Center, ATF, FBI, Michigan State Police, Delta Force Security, Michigan Department of Natural Resources, and the Delta County Sheriff Department for their assistance.
