Bomb Threat!
Q. I never thought it would happen, but we had a bomb threat last week. Our receptionist hung up and called the police. Is this the best action to take after a bomb threat? Do you have any tips on how best to handle a phoned bomb threat?
A. Keep the caller on the line for as long as possible. Try and record every word spoken by the person, especially:
-- Caller's gender and approximate age
-- Bomb facts: when will it go off; exact location
-- Whether the call is local or long distance
-- Caller's voice characteristics: loudness, pitch, speed
-- Background noise: traffic, voices, etc.
Inform the caller that the building is occupied and detonation of the bomb could result in death or serious injury to many innocent people.
