One of several special teams available to the sheriff is the Bomb Squad. In 1999, the U.S. Department of Justice, Federal Bureau of Investigation and the National Bomb Squad Commanders' Advisory Board recognized our team as an Accredited Bomb Squad. In order to achieve this status, each member must attend and complete the F.B.I.'s Hazardous Devices Course located in Huntsville, Alabama. In addition to the training, this office must maintain specialized pieces of equipment utilized by the squad to fulfill their function.

The Bomb Squad is one of the most active of the special teams here at the Sheriff's Office. Each year the team responds to an average of 20 incidents involving explosives or suspected explosives devices. The team receives training on a regular basis and is very active with the other Bomb Squads from the Denver metro area. The Bomb Squad members maintain a membership with the International Association of Bomb Technicians and Investigators.

In addition to responding to calls for service involving explosives, the squad is available to assist the citizens and business owners of Douglas County by conducting classes that deal with bomb threats and explosive recognition.
