The Delta Police Department responded this afternoon to Delta High School after school officials reported the discovery of a written threat inside the building.
Officers immediately responded to the school and worked closely with school administrators to assess the situation and implement established safety protocols.

Additional officers were present during student dismissal, and an increased law enforcement presence will be maintained at the high school tomorrow morning as an added precaution.
