Bomb Threat Form

I thought this was pretty relevant, given yesterday's almost-terrorist events - I'm in the process of reading Safe Harbour: Policies and Procedures for a Safe Library, and came across this on page 58 in the "Forms" section.

BOMB THREAT FORM

When will the device detonate?

Exactly WHERE is the device?

WHAT does it look like?

WHO placed it there, and when?

WHAT do you want from us?

Who are you, and why are you calling?

Will you repeat these details to my supervisor?

Keep asking these questions until caller refuses or hangs up!!

Describe background noises

Approximate age of caller

Gender of caller

Did the caller have an accent? (Describe)

Caller's exact words

Immediatly notify your supervisor and call the police. Call 911 or other emergency numbers and repeat information. Do not leave until questioned by police. Retain this form.

Well, I guess it's better to have it and not need it then not have it and need it, right? I can just picture it: Uh, sir, could you please wait a moment? I need to find my form before you proceed with your bomb threat ... heavens sir, that's awfully rude of you, there's is no need to speak to me that way!
