1. In Dec 73er 1968, July 1969 J-,1(1 Decmber 1970, SDB
provided basic countersabotage familiarization training for
Selected members of the Washington metropolitan area police
departments. The training was given at the Fairfax County
police pistol and rifle range. Authorization for the train-
ing came from DDP and Chief, Office of Security.
2. On occasion during the past few years, under the
auspices of the Law Enforcement Assistance Administration of
the Department of Justice and with the approval of CI Staff
and Office of Security, SDB provided training and familiari-
zation to police officers of several domestic police
departments in the uses of the Explosives Residue Detection
Technique and Trace Metals Detection Technique. These tech-
niques had been declassified and are currently available to
the law enforcement community. The National Bomb Data Center
publishes periodic guidance in their uses.
3. In order to augment the SDB mission responsibilities
in the field of counter-sabotage and counterterror, SDB offi-
,
cers have in the past two years visited, under appropriate
covers, the explosives disposal units of the New York City
police department, Dade County (Miami) Florida Dept. and the
Los Angeles Police Dept. Also, in March 1973, two SDB offi-
cers attended the Explosives and Ordnance Disposal Conference
in Sacramento, California, sponsored by LEAA. When the
recent letter bomb menace began in September 1972, our liaison
with the NYCPD bomb squad paid off in that we had complete in-
formation on letter bomb construction in hours, enabling the
Agency to make worldwide dissemination within a day.
