"again, that doesn't make it any less serious to us." school officials contacted police when they received the information. su "crime prevention officer chad sheehan calls the police department's relationship with the school district, a "good working relationship and used monday's incident as an example." "when the information was obtained, the school district did what needed to be done and took the information immediately to law enforcement," said chad sheehan, crime prevention officer with the sioux city police department. "they didn't sit on any information. they acted very quickly." dr. gausman said an automated phone call was sent to parents of students about the incident around 6 p.m. "we needed to go through all of the steps necessary to make certain that our students and staff members are safe," said dr. gausman.
