SUMMARY: On Tuesday, October 13, 2026, deputies from the San Bernardino County Sheriff’s Department, Twin Peaks Station, responded to Rim of the World High School following multiple 911 calls originating from the campus, which generated a large law enforcement and fire personnel response. During one of the calls, a voice was overheard asking for help. Responding deputies immediately activated high priority, emergency protocols, placed the campus on lockdown, and initiated a plan for a systematic search of the campus.
During the search, deputies received information indicating two students may have called 911 from the school’s landlines when there was no emergency. The students were located, identified, and escorted to the school administration office. Once the campus was rendered safe, all staff and students were released from the lockdown.
Following the investigation, one student was issued a criminal citation for PC 148.3 (False Report of an Emergency) and PC 182 (Conspiracy). The second student was cited for PC 182 (Conspiracy). Both students were released into the custody of their legal guardians.
