In response, additional law enforcement personnel from Azusa PD and neighboring agencies were immediately deployed to the campus to ensure the safety of students and staff. After a careful and thorough assessment, the threat was determined to be not credible.

The investigation to identify the source of the call remains ongoing. The safety and security of our schools is our highest priority, and we remain fully committed to providing a safe learning environment for the youth of our community.

The Azusa Police Department is aware there have been sightings of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents in our city. There is a video circulating that shows ICE agents at a red light behind one of our officers. This was solely a coincidence due to proximity.

Azusa PD does not enforce civil immigration laws and we do not ask about individual’s immigration status when responding to calls.

As always, if you are a victim of a crime, a witness, or in need a police assistance, please contact us. Our personnel will continue to provide police service, regardless of immigration status. We are proud to serve a diverse community and encourage our community members to remain calm and stay informed of their rights.
