Bomb Squad

BSO's Bomb Squad is a federally accredited Bomb Disposal Unit, meaning it has met the standards and criteria required to provide assistance to local, state and federal agencies countywide.

The Bomb Squad's primary responsibilities include:

  • Responding to all suspected explosive devices and suspicious items
  • Rendering explosive devices safe
  • Neutralizing and disposing of explosives and hazardous chemicals
  • Conducting detailed bomb threat searches with specially trained explosive detection canines.

In addition, the unit coordinates the investigations of situations involving the use of bombs, explosives, mass-destruction weapons and at post-blast explosion scenes.

The unit's highly trained and skilled members are equipped with state-of-the-art tools including two custom designed bomb disposal response vehicles, a full containment explosive vessel with transport, the newest remote bomb disposal robot and two additional robots. The team also uses other equipment such as state-of-the-art x-ray technology, heavey blast resistant suits and weapons of mass destruction neutralization.

The unit is staffed by federally certified (FBI and U.S. Army) bomb technicians and bomb detection-trained canines.
