COLORADO SPRINGS — The Colorado Springs Police Department (CSPD) says they are aware of non-credible threats made to schools in our area.

According to CSPD, most of these threats have circulated in our community through social media.

They also say most of these threats have originated from outside of Colorado. At this time, CSPD says there is no evidence to constitute that these threats are credible.

CSPD says in partnership with schools in the community, they remain vigilant to potential threats and closely monitor and investigate posts to determine credibility. They also say they will take immediate action if verified threats do happen.

News5 spoke with a child psychologist and parents after five school districts in southern Colorado received non-credible threats last week.
