www.GoodMorningGwinnett.com Gwinnett County police are stepping in to help their counterparts with Gwinnett County Public Schools respond to and investigate a recent rise in cases of threats and other acts of harassment and intimidation taking place in the schools.
Police Officer Senior Hideshi Valle said the police department is taking the threats seriously even though many of them are anonymous and have turned out to be hoaxes.
“Threats and crimes committed upon school grounds against students or school personnel are enforced with more substantial penalties and include incarceration time,” Valle said. “The Gwinnett Police Department’s Intelligence and Crime Analysis Units identify threats and rate their credibility. We are passing all information on to the Gwinnett School Police for follow-up and augmenting their workforce with additional patrols as requested.”
