Special Response Team

Underwater Recovery Unit

Bomb Unit

The Bomb Squad consists of six Bomb Technicians and support personnel. Ours is the first squad in the midlands to obtain national accreditation from the U.S. Department of Justice. Further, all Bomb Techs are graduates of the FBI Hazardous Devices School at the Red Stone Arsenal.

The Techs and the team must be re-certified every three years and they must maintain a high level of training to meet this requirement.
 

The team is equipped with state-of-the-art equipment to respond to explosive threats in the metro area. Bomb Techs also respond to all tactical calls to support those units.

These officers must be able to withstand long periods in a closed environment (bomb suit) in a high stress situation (dealing with explosives). All members of the unit are volunteers and this is an additional duty to their regular assignments
