12040.7 Anonymous and Non‑Specific Staff Threats

  • In situations where a threat is discovered anonymously or where no specific employee(s) has been identified, the assigned supervisor shall coordinate and conduct interviews of various incarcerated people at the facility where the threat was discovered. These interviews shall encompass all demographics of the incarcerated population ensuring a quality sampling of interviews is completed.

  • If a non-specific or anonymous threat is received from outside of an institutional facility and the assigned supervisor determines that the information received could reasonably pose a threat to the safety of staff, a TART shall be assembled to assess the information and provide a recommendation for the Hiring Authority or their designee. The assigned supervisor shall coordinate and conduct interviews with various sources such as, but not limited to, local law enforcement, supervised people, or community members in an attempt to validate the threat.
