A “bottom to top” search of the school building was conducted by several police officers from Ridgewood Police and the Bergen County Sheriff’s Office (BCSO). The human search party was assisted by two (2) BCSO K-9s.

An investigation into the threat’s origin will likely be conducted by Ridgewood Police.
