Someone called in a bomb threat to work. A bomb squad could theoretically be dispatched, but only if someone actually sees a bomb, or what is likely a bomb. Phone threats are not taken seriously by the city. And the cops would not go in because that is not their job. So my team and I got to go in and sweep. It keeps coming back to what our ERT (Emergency Response Team) head trainer says: "You're on your own more often than you can get any professional help."
