SPRINGFIELD, Ohio (AP) — Ohio state police will help protect schools in a city at the center of a political furor over Haitian migrants, the governor announced Monday, while local officials canceled an annual celebration of cultural diversity in the fallout over former President Donald Trump’s false claims about pet-eating.
Ohio Gov. Mike DeWine, a Republican, has denounced the debunked rumors that spread online before Trump amplified them at last week’s presidential debate, saying there is no evidence of it.
He said at a news conference in Springfield on Monday that dozens of members of the Ohio State Highway Patrol will be stationed in city schools starting Tuesday following a series of threats across the city, sweeping each building every morning before the arrival of faculty or students. Security cameras have also been stationed at strategic spots in the city, and a bomb-sniffing dog will be in the city and available round-the-clock.
“We know that people are very, very concerned,” DeWine said. “But we’ve moved resources into Springfield. People have the right to feel safe as well as being safe.”

with their lies. Why do republicons hate the Bible and piss on the teachings of Jesus?
Do they all want to go to Hell?
Of course.
it doesn't mean they aren't actually doing subpoenas to the telecos for call traces and then follow-ups to confirm where the threat calls came from and what the numbers were, and whether it was domestic or foreign, and then reaching out to determine if the assigned number(s) belonged to the assigned people or were spoofed, ALL before they can even do any "charging" or "arrests". 
There are several million federal civil servants in this country (not counting contractors). I used to be one of them for over 30 years before retiring. Trust me, someone got this tossed on their desk as a work assignment.

It seems the sentiment on DU is that federal civil servants do absolutely nothing. 
Telecomm is a federal function (FCC) as is anything that "crosses state lines", which is why the feds get involved. That includes anything like a "bomb threat" that is done over the phone (and such a circumstance may involve some notification to ATF if necessary).
The reality is, there is almost always a "federal-state team" set up for situations like this so they can coordinate and share resources. They all work for "some government". 
When they set up these "partnerships", each party takes a role, so the local municipal government may do one thing (i.e., they might have something like an "Office of Community Affairs" that has liaisons with the community and can offer "counseling services" ), the local police may do another thing (say, if there is actual criminal mischief, like vandalism, that has occurred with this), the County and/or State police might do another thing (like requesting if other municipalities are dealing with the same thing, which might allow them to determine if this is an isolated incident by a local or is something more widespread), and the feds will do still other things (again, based on their jurisdiction).
Each has a mission and resources dedicated to that mission and it does actually help when resources are stretched thin.
Because I originally replied to a different poster in this subthread and you jumped in with additional remarks, but I was attempting to stick with the original sub-thread topic?
