Which organization should be notified immediately after recording bomb threat details?

• A. Police
• B. Security contractor
• C. Building maintenance
• D. Insurance company

Answer: (A)

Immediate reporting to the police is the top priority after recording bomb threat details. Police are trained to assess the threat, coordinate a safe response, and decide on evacuation and zone security. Notifying them right away ensures trained responders take charge, verify risk, and manage the incident from the start.

While waiting for police, follow your venue’s emergency procedures: stay calm, document exact wording, time, location, who reported it, any device descriptions or peculiar noises, and pass this information clearly to responders. Keep others away from the area, avoid touching or moving anything suspicious, and guide people to safe exits as directed.

Security contractors or building maintenance can assist under direction, but they are not the primary point of contact for a live bomb threat. An insurance company is not involved in the immediate response, as the priority is safety and police-led management of the threat.
