""Out of an abundance of caution, an evacuation notification was sent out to the community to keep the immediate area of the call clear of bystanders. After checking the area, it was determined that there was no threat to public safety.""
""We understand that these false-alarm calls and the associated notifications can create fear and confusion in the community. We regularly receive feedback ranging from concerns that there are too many notifications, not enough notifications, or that the notifications reach the wrong groups of people.""
On April 6, the Breckenridge Police Department responded to an anonymous bomb threat on South Main Street, leading to a brief evacuation. Officers arrived within four minutes of the call and issued an evacuation notification shortly after. The order was lifted 16 minutes later when no threat was found. The department emphasized treating all bomb threats as credible and acknowledged community concerns regarding notification frequency and effectiveness.
