IF YOU RECEIVE A TELEPHONE THREAT:
1. Remain calm.
2. Listen carefully. Be polite and show interest. Try to keep the caller talking so that you can gather more information.
3. Use the Explosive Device Data Record information on back of this page to question the caller in a polite and noninterrogative
manner. Use any means, even humor, to prolong the conversation. This will provide a better chance to indentify the voice and
hopefully obtain additional information about a device, the validity of the threat, or the identity of the caller.
4. Upon completion of the call, immediately notify University Police (2-2121) and complete the Explosive Device Data Record
as soon as possible while the incident is fresh in your memory.
5. If a threat has been received by another individual and he/she is relaying this information to you,
use the Explosive Device Data Record to get as much information from them as possible.
