Bomb Threat Awareness
Recognising Threat Indicators and Supporting Safe Organisational Responses
Although bomb threats are relatively uncommon, every organisation should be prepared to respond in a calm, disciplined and coordinated manner when such a threat is received or suspected.
This programme develops awareness of bomb threats, suspicious circumstances, professional reporting responsibilities and the Security Officer’s role in supporting organisational emergency procedures.
Programme Overview
Bomb threats may be received through telephone calls, electronic communication, written messages or other means. Occasionally, suspicious objects or unusual circumstances may also create concern.
Professional Security Officers are expected to remain calm, recognise potential warning signs, follow established organisational procedures and communicate accurately with supervisors and emergency services.
This programme develops awareness rather than specialist explosive-device knowledge or operational response techniques.
