When conducting a bomb search after a threatening call is received and a suspicious object is found. What you should do next?

Prevent anyone from going near or touching the object, notify the property manager and follow instructions
Immediately evacuate the building by pulling a fire alarm
Call 911 and notify the dispatcher there is a bomb in the building
Locate a bucket of water to douse the explosive and prevent it going off

The correct answer is: Prevent anyone from going near or touching the object, notify the property manager and follow instructions

The procedure to follow when a suspicious object is found after a bomb threat call entails preventing anyone from approaching or touching the object, notifying the property manager, and following subsequent instructions. This is because security personnel are not bomb-disposal experts. Any interference could potentially trigger an explosion. Directly alerting the building manager is crucial as they should be in charge of the overall safety of the property and its occupants. They may have procedures in place for such situations which you should follow. In this kind of emergency situation, the security guard should manage the immediate environment to maintain safety, notify the proper authorities or relevant officials, and then follow the set protocols.
