Twin Falls police officers responded to Canyon Ridge High School on Tuesday after receiving a false emergency call, according to reporting by kmvt.com.
Deputies arrived on campus and launched an immediate investigation. Several additional patrol vehicles were deployed to the site for a brief period as authorities assessed the situation.
Officials confirmed that there was no actual danger to students or staff members. The hoax call prompted a standard security protocol, but investigators quickly determined the threat was fabricated.
School operations resumed normally in the afternoon following the incident. No classes were canceled, and the campus remained open for regular activities.
School administrators and law enforcement are urging parents and students to report any suspicious activity or concerns directly to them. Prompt reporting helps ensure community safety and allows officials to verify potential threats quickly.
This incident highlights the importance of treating emergency calls seriously. False reports waste limited public safety resources that could be deployed for genuine emergencies, such as the recent house fire response in Twin Falls or the search for a missing child handled by local deputies.
