If your staff receives a suspicious package or letter, it is important to know how to identify, respondand report to authorities. A suspicious package is treated as an immediate danger, not a threat.

IF A SUSPICIOUS PACKAGE / MAILING OR DEVICE IS FOUND:

□ Do NOT touch, tamper with, or move the item. □ Immediately report item to site decision maker(s) and notify local law enforcement. □ Do NOT open, smell or taste. □ Wash your hands with soap or water if in contact.

Site decision maker(s) must: □ Ensure area is secured and cleared of personnel. □ Ensure law enforcement was notified and follow police directives. □ Ensure emergency responders are continuously briefed. □ Follow Secondary Attack and Evacuation guidelines.

After a bomb threat has been received, restricting students to classrooms is recommended to prevent a student from accidentally or intentionally triggering an explosive device on campus. Heightened Security is a procedure to increase the security of a school without invoking the concerns of an active shooter that is associated with “lockdown.”

MANAGEMENT

□ Recall all staff and students outside the school.

□ Restrict hallway access. Order students to their next scheduled classrooms immediately

□ Establish a command post.

□ Secure all entrances.

□ Establish communications with law enforcement

□ Delegate a Staff Member/SRO to monitor entrances and parking lots (from inside).

□ Inform staff of situation and review plans in case the situation escalates.

□ Develop plans to accommodate persons with special needs, restroom breaks and meals in case the event lasts for over an hour.

“Attention! We have an incident requiring Heightened Security. This is not a drill. Students report immediately to your scheduled class. Teachers allow students into the classroom and then restrict hallway access. Additional information will follow.”

Teachers and staff can be provided updates via email or in person.

Effective communication and collaboration are keys to managing bomb threats. Identify all stakeholders that need to be notified.

The Incident Command System or ICS is an effective approach to managing complex emergencies, like a bomb threat. The key components of ICS are establishing realistic objectives (i.e. implementing Heightened Security Procedures or Determine if there is an explosive device on campus), collaboratingwith other stakeholders. (i.e. District and Law Enforcement) and delegating responsibilities (i.e. establishing search teams).

Searching your campus is an important step in insuring the safety of all students, staff, and visitors.Persons conducting the search need only look for items that appear suspicious and/or look out ofplace. The determination as to whether an object is an explosive device is left to law enforcementexperts. Should any person locate an item that is suspicios, follow the “Suspicious Object Response”steps below and

KEY POINTS TO SEARCH

GENERAL SEARCH GUIDELINES

**IF TICKING SOUND IS HEARD, ATTEMPT TO VISUALLY LOCATE THE ITEM. IF THE ITEM CANNOT BE LOCATED, TREAT THE SOUND AS IF YOU HAVE LOCATED A SUSPICIOUS ITEM.

Search in two-person teams whenever possible.

Divide area to be searched in half (based on content, not size).

Listen for “ticking” or “clockwork” sounds**.

FIRST - search your half of the room waist high (around three feet) and BELOW.

SECOND - search your half of the room ABOVE waist high.

IF A SUSPICIOUS OBJECT IS LOCATED □ Do NOT touch the object.

□ Stop searching that area (there may be additional devices elsewhere).

□ Notify teachers and have everyone move to the other side of the building.

□ Persons who located the object are to report to the Facility Leader.

(Facility Leader will notify the authorities and recall other search teams)

□ Secure the area where the item was located, but do not guard it.

(STAY AWAY FROM THE ITEM)

□ If possible on the way out of the area, open doors and windows near the item.

□ Facility Leader will determine evacuation route and rally point.

□ Search teams will re-deploy to search evacuation routes and paths to the rally point.

□ When routes are cleared, assist in evacuation as needed.

Identify all packages, boxes, briefcases, and bags. If you CANNOT identify that the item belongs in the area you are searching, treat it as a suspicious object.

REFER TO THE “BOMB THREAT SEARCH COORDINATOR” AND “BOMB THREAT SEARCH” FORMS N THE RESOURCES SECTION

REFER TO THE “BOMB THREAT SEARCH COORDINATOR” AND “BOMB THREAT SEARCH” FORMS IN THE RESOURCES SECTION

The Search Coordinator should identify areas that need to be searched. Typically, teachers are askedto search their own classrooms so these search areas are limited to common areas, hallways, exits, and paths to possible evacuation rally points. Lockers are not searched during this phase.

Assessing the Threat- Considering the totality of bomb threat and actual Improvised Explosive Device (IED) incidents, there is no single deciding factor on whether a bomb threat is legitimate or a hoax. Measure all of the facts, context, and conclude from the whole picture whether the possibility of a “real” threat exists. All threats should be carefully evaluated on an individual basis and called in to local law enforcement regardless of the circumstances.

06 BOMB THREAT ASSESSMENT

LOW RISK

MEDIUM RISK

LACKS REALISM:

INCREASED LEVEL OF REALISM:

HIGH RISK INCREASED LEVEL OF REALISM:

□ Threat is direct, specific, and realistic; may include names of possible victims, specific time, location of devices.

□ Perpetrator provides his/her identity.

□ Threat suggests concrete steps have been taken toward carrying out the threat.

□ Perpetrator makes statements indicating they have practiced with a weapon or have had the intended victim(s) under surveillance.

□ Threat is vague and indirect.

□ Information contained within the threat is inconsistent, implausible, or lacks detail.

□ Caller is definitely known and has called numerous times.

□ The threat was discovered instead of delivered (e.g., written on a wall).

A threat that poses a minimum risk to the victim and public safety. Probable motive is tocause disruption.

□ Threat is direct and feasible.

□ Wording in the threat suggests the perpetrator has given some thought on how the act will be carried out.

□ May include indications of a possible place and time.

□ No strong indication the perpetrator has taken preparatory steps, although there may

be some indirect reference pointing to that possibility.

□ Indication the perpetrator has details regarding the availability of components needed to construct a bomb.

□ Increased specificity to a threat (e.g. “I know your lunch periods.”)

Threat that could be carried out, although it may not appear entirely realistic.

NOTES



13

When active crisis communications are required, there are just four things your stakeholders, the public and the media want to know: 1. WHAT HAPPENED? 2.WHAT IS BEING DONE? 3.WHAT ARE YOUR NEXT STEPS? 4.WHAT CAN WE DO TO HELP?

Maximum disclosure and minimum delay is always worth considering, but when and what to release is unique to each incident. In any emergency, but especially with bomb threats, all messages should be coordinated with internal (district) and external (law enforcement) release authorities. Releasing sensitive information can jeopardize lives and disseminating inaccurate information harms credibility and impacts people’s confidence in the organization.

When developing messages for an actual emergency, work with your response partners to provide consistent messages that target your audience and stay within your lane.

Do not speculate or release unapproved information. Be sure your messages answer the four questions; this will help prevent an information vacuum.

If measures were enacted to secure your school(s) consider using the term “Heightened Security” instead “lockdown.” People may associate “lockdown” with an active shooter-type threat.

CRISIS COMMUNICATIONS

Terminology for Bomb Threats

1 What Happened? Remember “B.L.U.F.” (Bottom Line Up Front). A clear, concise statement that illustrates your organization understands the scope of the incident and is taking appropriate actions. Rather than using the “lockdown”, use “heightened security”.

2 What is Being Done? Without jeopardizing operational security, privacy or ongoing investigations, provide a brief, high-level overview of actions.

EXAMPLE: “A concerning social media post that referenced our school and a possible bomb was discovered today that required our school to implement heightened security procedures.”

EXAMPLE: “The school has implemented heightened security procedures and is restricting public access into the school while limiting student movement inside. Law enforcement is at the school and assisting us in our response.”

4 What Can We Do to Help? Without jeopardizing operational security, privacy or ongoing investigations, provide a brief, high-level overview of actions.

EXAMPLE: “Please do not come to the school as students cannot be released until law enforcement provides an “all-clear.” We will provide more information through local media outlets and our messaging system as soon as it becomes available.”

3 What Are Your Next Steps? Again, protect operational security and do not divulge too many specifics. For instance, if a school is to be evacuated, there is no need to publicly divulge where the students are being evacuated to before the site is prepared and parents have been notified. Remember, the overarching goal is to communicate you have a plan.

EXAMPLE: : “Our district and school have detailed emergency plans and these plans have been enacted. We will continue to work with local law enforcement to insure the safety of our students and staff.”
