A.
If you receive a bomb threat by telephone:
1.
Remain calm. 2.
If possible, signal to one of your colleagues to monitor
the call. 3.
Keep the caller on the telephone as long as possible by asking
the following questions: a.
When is the bomb going to explode?
b.
Where is the bomb now? c.
What kind of bomb is it? d.
Why did you place the bomb? It is doubtful that the caller will answer any of
the above questions, but you should ask the questions as a matter of
procedure. If the questions do receive answers they should be written
verbatim. The monitor should assist in this recording (re #2 above).
The time the telephone call is terminated should also be recorded. 4.
Call trace - it may be possible to trace the call if your
phone has been programmed for call tracing. a.
If call is received on a single-line telephone (no line buttons) b. If call is received on a multi-line telephone (SL-1 or other): 1) press
"conf 6" or "transfer"
The above procedure will cause computerized call-trace to be made. This may prove successful. 5. Once conversation has been terminated, call University Police (x911).
Give them the facts of the call including your name, title, location,
telephone extension on which you received the threatening call and advise
if you had initiated the call trace outlines in #4 above. Also, give
the time you recorded the call trace. 6. Notify the most available senior person in charge of your area (preferably
department head or chairman). Notify no one else unless there is an
obvious immediate danger to personnel. 7. Unless an evacuation is ordered, remain at your location to await
arrival of University Police personnel. 8. Write down a description of the caller's voice -- indicate whether
male or female; young, middle aged, or old; tone of voice; accent. Is
