Call Security (From an outside line)

Dial (972) 869-5911

Notify your employer (supervisor).
Be aware of the following:

THE PERSON WHO RECEIVED THE BOMB THREAT MUST BE MADE AVAILABLE TO TALK WITH THE LOCAL AUTHORI-TIES.
Security Command Center will notify other tenants in the building. This is not your function and would only add unnecessary confusion.
Make the bomb threat check list available to the authorities.
You can be of great assistance by carefully following the steps above.

The authorities may determine that there is time to conduct a search. If so, remain calm and assign a floor warden or trained employee to search your area to determine if any strange objects are present.

DO NOT TOUCH SUSPICIOUS OBJECTS IF FOUND

Report to the Police Department and Building Security the results of your search.
The local authorities will determine if a partial or total building evacuation is necessary.
When evacuation is necessary, follow the Evacuation Procedures in this manual or communicated via the public address system.

NOTE: Some office telephone systems offer a “record” feature on the deskset. If your system is equipped with this valuable feature, ensure your employees are familiar with it and are trained to activate the “record” feature when a bomb threat is in progress. Local authorities can review this recording as evidence.

When a building evacuation is determined necessary by the Police Department, the Security Command Center will make an announcement over the public address system. Follow the Evacuation Procedures in this manual.
An “All Clear” signal will be given when the Police Department has authorized the Security Department to allow re-entry into the building.
The “All Clear” signal is four tones up on the scale and four tones down, and will be made via the public address system.
