"Edmonds Police appreciate the public’s concern for the safety and well-being of all children, not only in Edmonds, but in our surrounding communities. Threats against any member of the community are unacceptable, but threats made against innocent children are indefensible. At this time, our detectives are focusing on information that leads them to believe the origination of the threatening calls came from outside the State of Washington. We do not believe that there is an immediate threat to our community. The Edmonds Police Department will continue to work this investigation and use the resources of our local, State, and Federal law enforcement partners, as appropriate. Our patrol officers will continue to provide a visible presence in your neighborhoods and exceptional response to calls for service. More details on this investigation will be released as appropriate.
