The Tahoe Douglas Bomb Squad has been awarded a grant from the Office of Criminal Justice Assistance, allowing for enhanced safety measures and improved recognition of energetic materials that present community hazards. The $11,665 grant award will purchase a Remote Firing Device used in explosive material disposal operations.
The purchase of the new device allows the formation of the bomb squad disposal program. This program is being designed to safely dispose of energetic materials, including fireworks, commercial blasting materials, and gunpowder, as well as any illegal seizures through law enforcement activities.
The advanced technology of the RFD unit is interoperable and will allow for seamless integration of the bomb squad into federal, state, and local disposal operations and federal incidents and operations.
