The Omak Police Department would like to inform families and community members that earlier today, the Omak High School received an anonymous phone call reporting threats.

Upon receiving the call, school officials immediately notified law enforcement, our School Resource Officer responded without delay and coordinated additional law enforcement agencies to provide a presence on the campuses. As a precaution, the schools were placed on lockdown to ensure the safety of all students and staff while law enforcement conducted the investigation.

After consulting with school district leadership it was determined the threat was no longer credible. The lockdown was lifted and normal school activities resumed.

Law enforcement remained on-site following the investigation to provide additional reassurance and ensure the continue safety of students, staff, and families.

The safety and well being of our students and staff remain one of our highest priorities. We appreciate the cooperation of the school community during this situation.

Thank you for your continued support.

This sweet (and unaltered) guy was found running at large in the 500 block of W. Bartlett in Omak.

No collar and no microchip—just out exploring the neighborhood on his own.

He’s safe and being cared for while we try to find his people.

If this looks like your dog, please call Dispatch (509) 422-7232 option 4 to arrange pickup.
