FBI Team in India to Share Bomb Blast Investigation Training
Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) trainers began a week-long program from 16 June to share U.S. expertise in bomb blast investigation with Indian law enforcement authorities. The program will provide world class crime scene training to Indian law enforcement officials based on post-blast techniques developed by investigators in the U.S. and around the world.
Through in-depth case studies, Indian law enforcement officers will learn about the composition and effects of various types of explosives; the proper procedure for processing a post-blast crime scene and collection and preservation of crime scene evidence. The course will culminate in a practical exercise, simulating a terrorist bombing attack.
The program will provide a forum for an exchange of “best practices” between U.S. and Indian law enforcement officials to combat terrorism and bring terrorists to justice.
