FIRE/BOMB INVESTIGATION UNIT Updated June 16, 2006
 

A Fire/Bomb Investigation Unit has been created to investigate possible criminal intent resulting from any fire/bomb incidents.

The Unit will have responsibility for, but is not limited to, the investigation of structure fires, suspect bomb or incendiary devices, non-collision vehicle fires, serious injury or deaths resulting from a fire/bomb incident, property damage, or explosions.

The Fire/Bomb Investigation Unit is composed of Police and Firefighting personnel who have had specific training in the investigation of fire/bomb incidents. The Unit is divided into two teams, each of which is under the supervision of a Team Leader who reports to the unit Commander.

The Fire/Bomb Investigation Unit's goal is to determine, through the investigation, if the incident was caused by natural or accidental means. If the incident is determined to be criminal in nature, the Unit will make an investigative to determine who is responsible for the act.
