substance, designed to explode. It can appear obvious or
concealed and can vary in size, shape or sophistication
and may not necessarily explode such as in the case of
incendiary and dirty bombs. It may be referred to as
Improvised Explosives Device (IED) or ordnance.
 Bomb Threat
Bomb threat is either a written or verbal threat
communicated through electronic, oral or other means
that threatens to place or use an IED at a certain time,
date, or place against any specific person or place. The
First Responder (FR), the police investigator, and the
police detective must remember the following basic
facts on bomb threat:
1. A threat is considered only a threat until something visible is
found;

2. Determined bombers do not frequently give warnings of a

possible explosion/incendiary attack;

3. Threats are an excellent way to disrupt productivity without

actually risking life, limb and/or property; and

4. The consequences of conviction for "threatening" are not

necessarily as serious as those that could result from actual
placement/initiation of a bomb.
First Responder's Procedure
on Bomb Threat
The following are the guidelines for FRS
during a bomb threat:
A. Upon receipt of the information:
a. Treat all threats as serious until proven otherwise;
b. Determine the exact location of the establishment under
threat;
c. Assess or analyze the threat whether it is a long term or a
short term threat;
d. Consider evacuation options as follows:
1. Option 1-Do Nothing
2. Option 2 - Search with partial evacuation
3. Option 3 Search and evacuation
4. Option 4 - Evacuate immediately
e. Alert Explosives Ordnance Demolition Team
(EODT) for bomb search mission and emergency
readiness before going to the crime scene;

f. Proceed immediately to the scene; and

g. Notify Higher Headquarters of any development.

B. Upon arrival at the scene:
1. Confirm the reported bomb threat and notify EODT on the need
to conduct a bomb sweep;

2. Conduct or cause a search for suspicious device/s together with

persons familiar with the location, and Unless a bomb is found,
personnel may not order an evacuation of the affected area, but
may inform the person in-charge of the property of the need to
evacuate. The following procedures shall be followed during
evacuation:
a. Evacuation and assembly point routes must be searched to
ensure that personnel are not unnecessarily exposed to danger
during the evacuation;

b. Designate a "safe" assembly area, well away from the

threatened structure, out of line-of-sight of the building and well
clear of windows. A minimum distance of 150 meters is
recommended;

c. Never assemble personnel in front of or directly below

glassed areas;
d. Advise employees and visitors to take their personal
belongings to eliminate superfluous "suspicious objects"
and to reduce the number of items to be "checked out";

e. Select safe and climatically acceptable assembly areas

where evacuees may wait for a considerable period;

f. Avoid car parks as assembly areas and be mindful of

the car bomb potential;
g. Install procedures to ensure that escape routes are clear.
Evacuation routes and assembly areas must be searched
before evacuation;

h. Install procedures to ensure windows and doors are left

open and lights left on; and

i. Include a procedure for machinery shutdown. This can

include plant and equipment, electronics, computer
equipment, securing files and correspondence.
3. If a suspected device is discovered, cause the evacuation of
people in the affected area to a distance of at least 300 meters
away, and maintain security for the protection of life and
property:
a. Any discovered device shall be isolated;
b. Do not touch, tamper with or disarm any suspected bomb or
IED;
c. Report discovery of suspected device;
d. Do not permit radio transmission within the premises/ building;
e. Turn off all electricity and gas units within the premises/

f. Secure the area and prevent people from approaching;

g. Establish traffic control;

h. Summon ambulance and fire trucks to the scene;

i. Await the arrival of bomb disposal team; and

j. Notify Higher Headquarters of the situation.

First Responder's Procedure in
Case of Actual Bomb Explosion
Guidelines for FRS during cases of actual
bomb explosions:
a. Upon receipt of the report:
1) Identify exact location of the incident;

2) Alert EOD teams and direct them to proceed to the area;

3) Notify Higher Headquarters of the situation;

4) Request assistance of medical personnel; and

5) Proceed to the scene immediately.

 b. Upon arrival at the scene:
1) Cause immediate evacuation of the injured;

2) Direct occupants of the establishment to evacuate;

3) Maintain order and control crowd;

4) Notify Higher Headquarters of the situation;

5) Seal off location until EOD Team determines if a secondary device

exists;

6) Conduct rescue operations at the scene when necessary;

7) Initiate immediate investigation if investigators have not yet
arrived and determine the following:
a) Time of detonation/explosion;
b) Time when the call for bomb threat was received; and
c) Type of device.

8.) Submit incident report immediately; and

9) Avoid issuing "speculative" press releases or statements.

Procedures in Determining and Reporting of
Terrorism Incidents/Cases
The Anti-Terrorism Council headed by the Executive
Secretary as Chairman was mandated by law to assume the
responsibility for the proper and effective implementation of the
anti-terrorism policy of the country. The Philippine National
Police, among other law enforcement agencies, serves as
support agency for the Council.
 Procedures
a. The On-Scene Commander shall initially determine if there is a high
degree of probability that the incident is a terrorist attack. He also
establishes the On-Scene Command Post and initiates the convening of
the Critical Incident Management Task Group (CIMTG) and the
Critical Incident Management Committee (CIMC) regardless of the
nature of the attack.

b. In the event of a suspected terrorist attack, the PROS shall ensure the
management and containment of the incident and shall coordinate with
the Task Force (TF) Sanglahi-Alpha Commander during the
development of the case.
c. Bombing attacks and explosions perpetrated by the
terrorist, the Inter-Agency Protocol on Explosives and
Related Incidents investigation among the PNP, AFP, NBI
and PCG shall be strictly followed.

d. The Philippine Bomb Data Center (PBDC) will be the

fusion center for the reporting of ERIs. As such, PBDC will
be furnished with all Post-Blast Investigation (PBI) and
initial reports pertaining to ERI.
Cybercrime Incident Response
Procedure
Cybercrime Response is the actual police
intervention in a cybercrime incident where the
acquisition of matters of evidentiary value is
traceable within the computer's hardware, software,
and it's network.
Guidelines for Cybercrime
Incident First Responder
a. When responding to a cybercrime incident, or to a scene of the crime
where computers (or electronic device, digital media, and other similar
devices) are present, it is imperative for the First Responder (FR) to be
able to protect, seize, and search the same and to be able to recognize
potential evidence, using the following questions as guidelines to
determine its role in the commission of the crime:

1)Is it a contraband or fruit of a crime?

2) Is it a tool used for the commission of the crime?
3) Is it only incidental to the crime, i.e. being used to store evidence
of the crime?
4) Is it both instrumental to the crime and a storage device for
evidence?
b. After identifying the theories as to the role of the computer
in the commission of the crime, the following questions
essential to any further police intervention should be
considered by the first responder:
1) Is there probable cause to seize the hardware?
2) Is there probable cause to seize the software?
3) Is there probable cause to seize the data?
4) Where will the search and seizure be conducted?
c. Search of computers (or electronic device, digital media,
and other similar devices) and seizure of data therefrom
require a warrant issued by the court.

d. Appropriate collection techniques shall be used to preserve

the data sought to be seized.

e. The evidence seized shall be subjected to forensic

examination by trained personnel. The result of the forensic
examination, as well as the testimony of the forensic expert,
shall be made available during the trial.
Search and Seizure of Computer
Upon determination of how the computer was utilized
in the commission of the crime, and once the legal
requirements have been complied with, the following are
the guidelines for the conduct of search and seizure:
a. Secure the Scene
1) Officer's safety is always paramount.

2) Preserve the area for potential fingerprints.

3) Immediately restrict access to the computer.

4) Isolate from phone lines.

b. Secure the computer as evidence
1) If the computer is "OFF", do not turn it "ON".

2) If the computer is "ON", do not turn it "OFF", nor

touch its mouse or its keyboard.
c. For stand-alone connection or single area
connection computers (non-networked)
1) Consult a computer specialist.
2) If a specialist is not available:
a) Photograph screen and disconnect all power sources
and plugs including those at the back of the computer;
b) Place evidence tape over each drive slot;
c) Photograph (or make a diagram) and label parts located
at the back of the computer including its connections;
d) Label all connectors and cable end to allow reassembly as needed
(Example: "Socket" marked "A" and the "cable End" also marked "A");

e) If transport is required, pack the components as "fragile cargo" prior

to transport;

f) Keep it away from magnets, radio transmitters, and from other hostile
environment;

g) Ensure that only a computer forensic expert conducts the search for
any evidence contained in the computer hardware; and
h) Ensure that the computer hard disk is
duplicated by the forensic expert and the
original is kept by the evidence custodian
for future court presentation. Further
search and analysis shall be undertaken
using only the imaged disk
d. For Networked Computers (or
business computers)
1. Consult a Computer Specialist for assistance.

2. Do not immediately pull the plug to prevent:

a) Severe damage to the system;
b) Disrupting the legitimate business; and
c) Possible liability of the officers.
SEARCH AND SEIZURE OF
WIRELESS TELEPHONES
A. If the devices is "ON" do not turn
it "OFF"
1) Turning it "OFF" could activate lockout feature
2) Write down all information on display and if
possible,secure a photograph.
3) Power down prior to transport (Bring all power
supply cords found at the scene)
B.If the devices is "OFF" leave it
"OFF"
1).Turning it on could alter evidence in the device.
2).Upon seizure, take it to an expert as soon as
possible, or contact local service provider.
3.Exert an effort to locate any instructions manual
pertaining to the device.
