Special training got underway in San Diego to deal with explosions caused by improvised explosive devices and homemade bombs.
“Bombings are still a rare occurrence in the United States, but the need to prepare for those investigations, it's important,” an ATF trainer saidSpecial training got underway on Wednesday in San Diego to deal with explosions caused by improvised explosive devices and homemade bombs. Law enforcement, firefighters and members of the military are learning to investigate these types of explosions.
The challenge for students is to reconstruct the IEDs. It requires them to search all the debris and somehow find the detonator, what the explosive material is, what it came in and the blast pattern with 100% accuracy. It’s not easy.“They like that 'who done it,' and they realize in an explosive investigation is it’s very possible to get that 'who done it' attitude and solve the investigation,“ Dockens said.
Among the ATF instructors is Sergio Salazar. He is based in Mexico City and says the material used in improvised explosives is more sophisticated and designed to inflict greater damage.
