The Fall River Police Department takes any threat to our community and especially the safety of our students with the utmost concern. Due to the threat, increased security measures were taken by the Fall River Police to ensure the safety of our students at B.M.C.

The Fall River Police Department and Fall River School District worked collaboratively to devise a security plan.

The investigation is ongoing as it relates to the source of the circulated threat on SnapChat. The Fall River Police Department encourages all individuals that if you “see something say something”. All threats will be considered serious and investigated diligently. The safety and security of the children within our community is paramount and we ask for the community’s assistance in ensuring we continue to foster this safe and secure environment.
