In the event that a bomb threat is phoned into
the college, the caller will most likely not identify him/herself. However, people
who call in bomb threats are calling because they want you to know what they are
doing, and often, why.
Should a bomb threat be received, immediately have a
co-worker inform Campus Police at ext. 800 while you keep the caller
on the line. Use a written note to do this as you stay on the phone.
If you should spot a suspicious object, package, etc.,
report it to Campus Police and your supervisor but under no circumstances should
you touch it, tamper with it, or move it in any way.
The senior staff person in charge of the building and
Campus Police will be responsible for ordering building evacuation.
When a bomb threat is received, attempt to remain calm
and keep the person on the line as long as possible. Ask the caller to repeat the
message and try to ascertain as many of the following items as you possibly can.

- What does it look like? (if present)
