WCSO and CPD Respond to School Tip

On Wednesday, August 21st, the Cordova Police Department received a call from a Cordova High School student that a firearm was brought onto campus. Cordova PD notified the school administration, and the Walker County Sheriff’s Office of the potential item.
 
The WCSO and Jefferson County Sheriff’s Office K9 units responded, and completed a search of the school as CPD officers secured the school. No firearms or items of note were found during the search.
 
CPD and the WCSO are working together to continue to investigate this incident, and any other incident that may occur at our county schools. Student safety is paramount, and alongside the School Resource Officers, partner agencies, and the Walker County BOE, we will continue to keep our schools a safe learning space.
 
If you ever see something, say something. Your information may prove invaluable for preventing an incident and ensuring school safety.
