News Release
Phone Threats - 10/16/19

The Kelso Police Department is investigating an anonymous 911 call that originated on 10/15/19 at approximately 7:15 PM.  The call was automated or robotic and was threatening in nature.  In addition to general anti-government statements, Kelso High School was also mentioned.  The exact message will not be released as this is an ongoing investigation. 

Even though we do not believe there is any danger to our schools, children or faculty, we are investigating. 

These types of calls are not uncommon.  They are used all over the world to harass, disrupt and generally cause chaos.  This does not diminish our response or collaboration with the Kelso School District.

There is a high likelihood that this call originated from outside of our geographic region but the public is still urged to contact the Kelso Police Department if they have any information regarding this incident.  If it did originate locally, it is our experience that someone will know and be able to provide information.
