Improvised Explosive Device Search Procedures

To reduce risk to the Nation’s critical infrastructure, the United States Department of Homeland Security's Office for Bombing Prevention (OBP) conducts training programs that build nationwide counter-improvised explosive device (IED) core capabilities
and develop awareness of terrorist threats. OBP courses educate participants such as municipal officials, state and local law enforcement, critical infrastructure owners/operators, and security staff on strategies for detecting and mitigating IED threats.

Workshop Purpose

OBP’s IED Search Procedures workshop improves the participant’s understanding of IED awareness, IED prevention measures, and planning protocols to detect IEDs by reviewing specific search techniques.  This workshop will enable law enforcement and public and private sector representatives to reduce vulnerability and mitigate the effects of IED attacks. This one-day class is designed for public and private facility owners/operators and security staff.
