The Twin Cities-based health insurance giant has significantly heightened security at its offices since the killing of the company’s chief executive officer, Brian Thompson, in early December.

Last month, 5 INVESTIGATES reported the company had paid nearly $150,000 for police to work contracted overtime at its headquarters as it remains on high alert following Thompson’s killing, which police described as a “brazen, targeted attack.”

There’s no official word yet on what has prompted Monday’s police presence at the company’s campus off Highway 169 and Bren Road.
