GENERAL SAFETY
It is important to remember even in training you are dealing with very dangerous substances. With careless actions you can cause severe damage or bodily injury. We will teach you everything you need to know to conduct your searches safely.
TIME OF DETONATION
In some actual searches time is critical; and with that in mind, training is conducted to prepare teams for that situation.
BOMB THREAT RESPONSE
General Safety of all explosive searches should be taken seriously. On bomb threat responses, all safety protocols should be implemented, with all potential explosive device scenarios taken into consideration. Remember that EDD teams take calculated risks, not foolish ones.
