Threats To Riverside Poly High School Are Unsubstantiated, Police Say

RIVERSIDE, CA — Social media posts threatening violence at Riverside Polytechnic High School have been unverified so far, police said Saturday.

Riverside Police said they are aware of "various" posts being shared making threats of school violence, and that investigators are working with school administration and the Riverside Unified School District to identify where the threats originated.

"We appreciate all the calls to our dispatch center and private messages to our RPD social media, and so far none of those posts have been substantiated," authorities said Saturday.

Police said there will be extra officers in and around Poly High School on Monday to maintain the safety of students and staff.

"Our priority with RUSD has always been to ensure a safe learning environment for all students in Riverside," police said in a statement.

"We look forward to beginning the new week with your students on Monday."

If anyone has any new information regarding the investigation, police asked them to forward it to School Resource Officer Rodriguez at BRodriguez@RiversideCA.gov.
