Nationally, bomb threats occur often and are almost always false threats. Geopolitical events often increase the number of threats received, but again, are almost always false threats. The Department of Public Safety (DPS) receives frequent intelligence bulletins from our regional and federal partners to best understand the level and credibility of any threats.

Please follow these guidelines and DPS will respond promptly to investigate the threat and determine
any necessary safety precautions to be taken (if any). Read our ‘Guidance for Bomb Threat and Threatening Phone Calls’ in full…
