First, we will ask if the phone number you give is secure. Saying it is secure means that only you or someone you trust answers the phone and that we can safely leave a voice mail message if no one answers. If the number is not secure, we will discuss other strategies. When we  contact you the first thing we will say is “is this a good time to talk”. If the subject or someone else is present and you can’t talk; you can say “no” or you can say “you have the wrong number” or anything else. We will hang up and you can call us back when it is safe. E-mail and other forms of electronic media can be used if it is secure.
