All bomb threats must be treated as a serious matter. Though many threats are meant to disrupt normal activities, each threat must be considered real until proven otherwise by the appropriate personnel.

If a bomb threat is made, or if a suspicious object or potential bomb is discovered:

• STAY CALM
• DO NOT handle the object
• Clear the area
• Call 911 from any campus phone or 913-588-5030 from any cell phone and include any information (i.e. location, appearance) about the object as possible

If a threat is made by phone:

• STAY CALM
• DO NOT put the caller on hold
• DO NOT attempt to transfer the call
• DO NOT hang up the phone that the call came in on. If at all possible, signal someone nearby to contact KUPD at 911 from any on-campus phone or 913-588-5030 from any cell phone
• Take as many notes as possible and document anything you may hear during the call
• Complete the Bomb Threat Checklist below
