The City/County Complex in Livingston was evacuated for several hours Tuesday while law enforcement searched the building after a bomb threat.

The facility houses Park County and City of Livingston administrative offices, including courtrooms and law enforcement headquarters. The evacuation occurred at about 8:15 a.m. and the building was swept by police officers with bomb detecting dogs from the Helena Police Department and Montana Highway Patrol. No explosives were found, and the building was reopened by 2 p.m. with limited services available, said a news release from Park County Sheriff Scott Hamilton.

The release said the threat was limited to the City/County Complex and no other buildings were threatened. Police took necessary precaution to protect the public.

Interim Livingston City Manager Lisa Lowy said the Livingston City Commission was scheduled to meet at 6:30 p.m. but will be postponed for one week out of an"abundance of caution."

Lowy said the 911 dispatch center is in the City/County Complex and was also evacuated. Emergency calls will be redirected to Gallatin County's dispatchers, so services will remain available. A Livingston's Fire and Rescue station is attached to the government building, but firefighters did not evacuate.
