Chatham-Kent Police Service officials allege: Chatham-Kent police say they are investigating social media posts about Ursuline College Chatham that have caused concern among students, parents, staff and community members.
Police say they take all reports involving the safety of students and schools seriously, and that any information suggesting a potential threat is thoroughly reviewed to assess its credibility and determine the appropriate response. They say they are working closely with school officials.
Police say there is currently no information to indicate the school is unsafe, and that it remains a safe environment for students and staff.
Police also said a significant amount of information is being shared on social media. They say some of it may be based on actual events, but other posts contain speculation, rumours or unverified claims, which can create unnecessary fear and confusion.
