Quite literally – they are trained to handle a bomb of ANY kind and what to do with that device in the circumstances that they find it in and determine what to do accordingly

The slogan we operated by in my unit was “Initial Success or Total Failure” and that is exactly what these individuals think of when they get the call of an IED/or explosive device

When I got called for different circumstances/situations, we had to determine what kind of device we were dealing with, its potential for harm, and how to secure the area around the device/munition

It is my hope that when things like this happen, we will remember those who get these calls, that they are heading full steam ahead to the threat, hoping to render it inert, diffuse it, or, if called for, detonate without any possible collateral damage.

These men and women are absolute experts and are who we want at these scenes/in these situations when called for. They are going to be able to assist any/all law enforcement agencies with granular data to catch the person(s) who have done this

The perpetrators should be charged and prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law for what they have done – and we can all be thankful that our Bomb Squad/EOD experts are right there, helping out in our communities across the country. (End)
