To protect persons and property and to minimize the disruption of college operations, all bomb threats and similar threats involving the Pierce College District will be assessed and evaluated to determine the most appropriate course of action. Following best practices and guidance from the Department of Justice and Department of Education, a Threat Assessment Team will methodically evaluate each incident to determine its threat level (low, medium or high). The response to any threat will be commensurate with the assessed threat level.
