Collinsville Community Unit School District #10

The Collinsville Police Department, in partnership with CUSD 10, has produced a video to warn students and parents about punitive actions that could occur if a child makes a violent threat against the school - even if it is meant to be a joke.  

The video is targeted to students in grades 4-12 and their parents.  Students see the video at school as part of an effort led by School Resource Officers (SROs) and building administrators.  

The purpose is to explain what happens when a false threat occurs and demonstrate the impact it has on the school community and law enforcement resources.  

Depending on the severity of the threat, students can be charged by the State of Illinois, spend time in a detention facility and earn a criminal record.   Parents can also be charged.  

ALL THREATS ARE TAKEN SERIOUSLY
