Earlier this evening, MSU Police and Public Safety responded to a call reporting a bomb threat and weapons threat at multiple locations on campus. Based on how the call was received and other information, we did not believe the threat to be credible, but we still responded appropriately. It has been confirmed by both our department and the FBI that this call was a hoax. There is NO danger or threat to the community. Out of an abundance of caution, MSU police officers immediately responded to the locations that were mentioned. We appreciate the quick response of our officers and assisting agencies in determining that this call was a hoax. Again, there is NO threat or danger to the community.
.@MSUPolice's comfort dog, River, is campus's new best friend.
Working alongside Community Outreach Lieutenant Kim Parviainen, he attends events and supports wellness needs within the Spartan community.
As we reflect and remember the violence our community experienced one year ago, we recognize that everyone may process their healing differently, and that’s okay.
Spartans, we’re here for you. Day and night, 24/7, 365. Spartans protecting Spartans, always. 🤍
It’s hard to believe it’s been one year.
Today, we honor and remember those we lost, those who were injured, those who were affected, and those who bravely answered the call.
We continue to heal, together. #SpartanStrong
After months of hard work and dedication, we are proud to welcome Officer Havyn Boike, Officer Karley Janecke, and Officer William Vincent to our team. These three all graduated from the 112th class of the Mid-Michigan Police Academy on Friday and were officially sworn-in to our department today. 👏🏼 We can’t wait for our Spartan community to meet them. They will be part of our team that selflessly serves our campus every day with nobility, humility, and passion. If you see these newest officers around campus, be sure to say hi! #SpartansProtectingSpartans
