Course Overview
ILERSBA was developed with support and cooperation from the Department of Homeland Security, National Bomb Squad Commanders Advisory Board, and New Mexico Tech to provide front line law enforcement officers with the skills and knowledge to effectively interdict and respond to an imminent suicide bombing attack (person-borne or vehicle-borne) or a non-suicide attack involving a vehicle-borne device.
Scope of Course
Based on the Needs Assessment for this course there is a significant training gap for first line Law Enforcement to interdict and respond safety and effectively to person-borne suicide IED attacks or vehicle-borne IED attacks.
