Which signal corresponds to Bomb Threat?

• A. Bomb Threat
• B. Suspected Explosive
• C. Traffic Stop
• D. Terrorist Incident

Answer: (A)

When a call or report involves a bomb threat, the signal used is the one named for that exact situation because it directly communicates the specific type of hazard and triggers the appropriate response protocols. A bomb threat signal signals that personnel should prepare for rapid protective actions, possible evacuations, and coordination with specialized units, since the focus is on the threat itself and the potential for a device to be involved.

Other signals don’t fit as precisely. Suspected Explosive is used when there’s uncertainty about a device or when a device is suspected but not confirmed, which is a different situation from an explicit bomb threat. Traffic Stop is unrelated to any explosive hazard, and Terrorist Incident covers a broader scenario that may involve multiple elements but isn’t the specific designation for a reported bomb threat.
