A Law Enforcement and Security Officers' Guide to Responding to Bomb Threats Providing a Working Knowledge of Bombs, Preparing for Such Incidents, and Performing Basic Analysis of Potential Threats

This expanded new edition continues to demonstrate that all law enforcement and security officers should have a working knowledge of bombs, explosives, suspicious devices, chemical-biological-radiological incidents and other threats for their own protection. A lack of this working knowledge can be a contributing factor to injury, death, or the inability to mitigate these incidents. The text points out, in a clear and concise format, the critical steps that should be taken by the first arriving personnel in order to allow the general law enforcement and security practitioner to respond to such.

  • "This newly revised edition is designed to integrate information in a clear and concise format to allow law enforcement to respond to bomb threats, bomb incidents, or chemical-biological-radiological events. The reader will find the information in this book useful as a general guide to develop local protocols to meet these occurrences. With the current threat, increased vigilance and knowledge is mandatory among all law enforcement and security officers to have a working knowledge of bombs, explosives and other threats for their own protection. Among the topics discussed include the basic techniques for risk assessment and target and hazard identification. These are essential components in relating to the probability of a bombing attack and the potential outcome of such an attack. The common methods of bomb delivery, bomb construction and methods of triggering are also demonstrated. Letter bombs, vehicle bombs and high-risk facilities such as aircraft, airports, medical facilities and schools are examined as well as the utilization of chemical, biological and radiological devices and the unique hazards associated with these devices. This book also includes a section for emergency medical service personnel in treating those injured from blast, overpressure, shrapnel and chemical agents. This text is not a replacement for trained and well-equipped bomb technicians but is designed to allow the first responder to make identification of suspect items and take appropriate action until well-equipped bomb technicians arrive on the scene.--P. [4] of cover."

  • "This guide designed for law enforcement and security officers in the preparation for bomb threats and the performance of a basic analysis of potential bomb threats offers pertinent information on the critical steps necessary when responding to bomb threats, on bomb delivery, bomb construction and methods of triggering bombs, on the various types and forms of bombs, on countermeasures and defensive efforts, on basic threat analysis, on protocols for emergency medical service personnel, and on initial actions following an explosion and protecting evidence. Encountering an actual bomb during their career will not happen to the average law enforcement or security officer. Yet, it is probable that they will encounter and have to deal with suspicious packages, bomb threats, and identified explosives. With that, law enforcement, public safety, and security professionals need to plan for and respond to incidents that involve bomb threats. This text is intended as a guide and discusses the basic techniques for risk assessment, and target and hazard identification. Common methods of bomb delivery, bomb construction, and methods of triggering bomb delivery are presented. Letter bombs, vehicle bombs, and high-risk facilities such as aircraft, airports, medical facilities, and schools are discussed. In addition, devices such as chemical, biological, and radiological weapons and their unique hazards are addressed. Protocols for emergency medical service personnel in treating those injured are addressed, as well as the presentation, in detail, of the necessary countermeasures and defensive efforts allowing law enforcement and security personnel to make recommendations and assess appropriate actions to be taken. The guide includes necessary resources to be identified, as well as a bomb threat plan. It offers initial actions following an explosion and measures to be taken to protect evidence. Lastly, information is provided on the threat of clandestine drug laboratories and the techniques to recognize signatures of such facilities. This guide is designed to allow first responders, law enforcement, and security professionals to make identification of suspect items and take the appropriate actions until the bomb squad arrives."
