On March 6, 2014 at approximately 09:10 AM,
the Angels Camp Police Department received information from the
California Highway Patrol that the California Highway Patrol dispatch
center had received an anonymous 911 call informing them of a possible
armed person on the Bret Harte High School campus.
School
staff was notified and the campus was immediately placed on lockdown.
Law Enforcement units were already on the Bret Harte Campus for the
Every 15 Minutes program.
Units
from the Angels Camp Police Department, Calaveras Sheriff’s Department,
and the California Highway Patrol searched the campus and found it to
be safe and clear. All students and staff were accounted for and
notified that it was safe to return to their normally scheduled day.
Although
the call may have been a prank, the Angels Camp Police Department takes
any threat to the safety of our school campuses and students seriously.
