Police Will Be At North Penn Game Following Threat

DOYLESTOWN, PA —Police presence is planned at tonight's North Penn football game at Central Bucks West in Doylestown after a non-credible threat was made against that school, officials said.

Officers from the Central Bucks Regional Police Department will be present at tonight's carnival and varsity football game. Central Bucks administrators said North Penn has also offered to send security staff as well.

In a message to the Central Bucks school community Friday afternoon, Superintendent John Kopicki said the threat capped a "challenging week" for Central Bucks families. Catarina Gane, a 12th grade student at CB West, passed away Monday.

"Difficult circumstances such as this can sometimes create misinformation and additional concern," the letter said.

School officials on Thursday received information about a threat against Central Bucks West, according to the letter. After working with local police, the threat was determined to be non-credible, Kopicki said.

However, "in the best interest of our students and staff," Central Bucks Regional Police were present at the school Friday and will be at the evening's events.
