Man Without Visitor's Badge Breached Elementary School for Special Needs

A man recently made it to the second floor of a Providence, Rhode Island school for special needs children without checking in at the front desk or receiving a visitor’s badge, “as is protocol."

According to a news report, the incident report filed by police noted that the man erroneously entered the school, Meeting Street, with a large group who was scheduled for an appointment. He was escorted out of the building, and he was accompanied by police officers. 

In an email to the news report, a spokeswoman said the man “was not in a classroom” and added that there are cameras in the facility, “but the person was not deemed to be a threat, so there was no cause to review video footage in this instance.”
