Improvised Explosive Devices and Bomb Recognition

This course will be modified to the level of expertise in the audience and can be adapted in the classroom for multiple levels of experience and understanding.

Training Goals and Objectives

The goal of the training program is to prepare the sworn law enforcement officer, general piece officer, emergency medical responder, emergency fire responder, or other public safety community servants’ members to recognize and identify bomb or improvised explosive devices.  

 

The course will be focused on providing information and techniques to identify devices and individuals that may develop these types of devices.  Several areas will be addressed; each area by it self is an area of expertise requiring detailed individual course instruction.

Training Audience, Format and Content

This course is intended for various levels of experienced sworn law enforcement officers, public safety officers, emergency medical responders, emergency fire responders, administrative workers in the public safety field, or other related oriented response agencies. The intent of the trainer is to provide survival tools and recognition techniques so that the student can recognize the danger signs of explosive devices or persons that may develop these types of devices.

 

This course is most successful when taught and received with audiences of 30 officers or fewer, but has been given in-groups of 40 or more with successful reviews.  The smaller groups enable officers to have more direct dialog with the instructor and the other students.

 

The course is designed as a one-day course. The students will lean the dangers that pose and the outcome of explosive devices.  Depending if time allowances and if inert devices can be delivered because of transportation constraints, the students will witness devices in there actual state’s and understand how they are functioned.  The course is designed to be conducted from 0800 to 1600 hours daily.
