Police in Renfrew County are reminding local communities of their Violent Threat Risk Assessment protocol.
Sergeant Hayley Sarault says the protocol is a partnership, in which depending on the present risk, involves various community partners.
Sarault says the types of threats the protocol responds to can be anything from bomb threats to arson at schools.
She encourages community members to do their part by reporting these types of incidents to proper authorities, whether they are principals or the police.
