Harrisonburg Police Department (82 sworn officers) received multiple tips through the tip411 tool, used in over 2,000 communities, about a 16-year-old making gun violence threats against Harrisonburg and Wilson Memorial High School via Snapchat.
With the help of those tips, two petitions were obtained, and a detention order was issued against the juvenile; the first was for threats of death or bodily injury to a person on school property, and the second was for a threat against Wilson Memorial High School.
The tip411 tool is designed to connect residents directly to law enforcement, including submitting anonymous tips, viewing community alerts, and other important information.
The public can submit anonymous tips to the Harrisonburg PD by texting HPDVA and the tip information to 847411. The Harrisonburg PD app can be downloaded for free at the Apple App Store and Google Play App Store.
