The headquarters of social media giant Facebook was temporarily flooded with officers and cordoned off Tuesday evening after a threat against the company was called in to authorities. The threat was originally called into the San Francisco Police Department.
The department transferred the call to Menlo Park officers, who went to the campus and closed off the entrance with tape. Officers searched the campus, while the company asked its employees to stay put before police could prove or disprove the threat.
Officers did not find anything at the campus, and Facebook eventually shuttled its employees home. The company, founded in 2004, has more than 6,000 employees. Menlo Park’s city council voted last week to allow the company to pay about $200,000 a year to the city to fund a full-time police officer who would be stationed near the new campus.
