Suspicious packages may be considered to be police evidence – handle them accordingly. Avoid radio and mobile phone use in close proximity to the package. If the package is stained, discolored, or emits an odor, DO NOT attempt to identify the substance. If you come in contact with a leaking substance, wash your hands and exposed skin. Do not open the package or letter. Do not shake or empty the contents of a suspicious package or envelope. Do not carry the package or envelope, show it to others or allow others to examine it. Put the package or envelope on a stable surface; do not sniff, touch, taste, or look closely at it or any contents that may have spilled.

Suspicious Package Ppt
The Butler County Bomb Unit responded to a suspicious package, but rather than a bomb, the unit found newborn kittens.
The bomb unit was called to a church in New Miami, according to a Facebook post from The Butler County Sheriff's Office.
'When Specialist Mike Grimes and Det. Detherage arrived, they didn't hear ticking they heard purring,' the post said.
Bomb Unit used their x-ray equipment to view what was inside the bag, according to Butler County Public Information Officer Kim Peters.
The 'package' was a black duffel bag with a mom cat and six one-day-old kittens inside. There was a note inside the bag that read, 'Mom's name is Sprinkles. She began giving birth at 2 p.m.' The kittens were born on Wednesday, Feb. 17, according to the note.
The Facebook post says the mom and babies are doing well and are warm, cozy and fed.
Kittens and mom were brought to the Animal Friends Humane Society on Thursday. They were all soaked in their mom's urine and needed gentle warm baths when they arrived, according to Animal Friends Executive Director Tara Bowser. 'They were very cold but she was a great mom. She knew what she needed to do and was already taking care of them,' Bowser said.
Sprinkles, purring throughout it all, received her vaccines and blood test and appears to be in good health. She is around one to three years old, and this is likely only her first or second litter. The family headed to a foster home today.
'All of the kittens survived and are fine and healthy,' Bowser said.
The kittens are not available for adoption yet and will need to spend the next eight weeks with their mom. Animal Friends Humane Society is accepting donations and will be posting updates about the kittens on Facebook.
