It is possible, although highly unlikely, that someone on campus may receive a threatening telephone call, letter , or a suspicious parcel, or discover a suspicious object somewhere on the campus grounds.

• Remain calm.
• Listen carefully. Be polite and show interest. Try to keep caller talking so that you can gather more information.
• Use the Explosive Device Data Record on the back of this page to question the caller in a polite and non interrogative manner. Use any means to prolong the conversation. This will provide a better chance to identify the voice and hopefully obtain additional information about the device, the validity of the threat, or the identity of the caller.
• Upon completion of the call, IMMEDIATELY notify Campus Safety and Security/Parking Services at extension 4600 and complete the Explosive Device Data Record as soon as possible while the incident is fresh in your memory.
• If a threat has been received by another individual and he/she is relaying the information to you, use the Explosive Device Data Record to get as much information for them as possible.

Note: A SUSPICIOUS item is defined as anything that is out of place and cannot be accounted for or any item suspected of being an explosive device.

• Keep anyone from handling it or going near it.
• Do not use portable radio equipment within 100 feet of the suspicious item. The signal from the device may interfere with any electronic detonation device.
• Notify Campus Safety and Security/Parking Services at extension 4600 IMMEDIATELY.
• Promptly write down everything you can remember about receiving the letter or parcel or finding the object. The information will be needed by the safety and security officer.
• Remain calm. Do not discuss the threat with other staff members.
• Be guided by Campus Security or police instructions.

• When is the explosive device set to explode?
• Where is it right now?
• What does it look like?
• What will cause it to explode?
