When a Bomb Is Found?

What will be an ideal response?


Under no circumstances should officers attempt to move, jar, or touch a suspicious object or anything attached to it. The actual removal of the bomb should be left to professional bomb disposal personnel. After the suspected bomb has been located, the location and description of the object should be reported to the supervisor or command center. Fire department and rescue personnel should also be notified and placed on standby. If necessary, sandbags or mattresses (never metal shields) should be placed around the suspicious object. Do not attempt to cover the object. Instead, you should do the following:
? Identify the danger area and block it off with a “clear zone” of at least 300 feet, including floors below and above the object.
? Be sure that all doors and windows are open to minimize primary damage from the blast and secondary damage from fragmentation.
? Evacuate the building.
? Do not permit reentry into the building until the device has been removed or disarmed and the building is declared safe for reentry.
