Second Brookfield School Bomb Threat 'Not Credible:' Town Officials

BROOKFIELD, CT — Police have determined that a second school bomb threat made in as many school days is not credible, and Monday classes were scheduled to continue as normal.

The email received Monday just before 10 a.m. was "very similar to the email on Friday," according to town officials.

The email was signed by Superintendent John Barile, First Selectman Steve Dunn, and Major Peter Frengs of the Brookfield Police Department

"The police department immediately met with school and town officials, and shared with us that there is no evidence to indicate that this email is a credible threat. In addition, all school resource officers have been on campus since early this morning, checking the school and campus as well as monitoring security cameras," the email said.

School resource officers will continue to patrol buildings, and there will be an expanded police patrol on campus throughout the day, according to the email. Town Hall will also remain open.

On Friday, a bomb threat, delivered via email to local news stations, resulted in the closing of Town Hall and the three public school campuses. After a sweep through the threatened area with bomb-sniffing dogs, police determined there was no danger.
