On Monday, October 21, 2025, at approximately 12:52 PM, the Harrison Police Department received a report of a suspicious person at Harrison High School.
Officers responded immediately, working closely with school officials and partner agencies to ensure the safety of students and staff. Following a thorough investigation, it was determined that the call was unfounded and identified as a “swatting” incident—a false emergency report intended to provoke a law enforcement response.
The Harrison Police Department appreciates the swift cooperation of the Harrison School District, Harrison Fire Department, Harrison Department of Public Works, and St. Clare’s EMS for their assistance during the incident. At no time was there any threat to students or school personnel.
The Harrison Police Department remains dedicated to the safety of our schools and community. All reports of potential threats are taken seriously and investigated thoroughly.
