  Bomb Threat Procedures

  Posted by Lewis "Eakins, PhD, CPP" on July 4, 2022 at 8:53 pm

  Dear Colleagues,

  I am interesting in learning of your bomb threat procedures in terms of evacuations when a threat is received.

  • Do you evacuate for every bomb threat or evaluate the specificity of the threat to determine if an evacuation is warranted?
    
    • If you evaluate each bomb threat, what metrics are used to inform an evacuation decision?
  • Other than staff members being told to assess their areas, do you use bomb detection canines, and/or conduct a floor by floor physical search?
  • For non-sworn departments, how do you work with local law enforcement?

  I will be appreciative of all responses and especially look forward to responses from non-sworn institutions.

  Thanks in advance and feel free to contact me privately (leakins@ivytech.edu) if that is your preference.

  Lewis
