Suicide Bomber Response Standard Operating Procedures and VBIED CDROM Reference Database and Guideline Standard Operating Procedures

The Suicide Bomber Response Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) provide consensus-based response protocols for Federal, State, and local bomb squads and first responders. The protocols include the minimum essential information, knowledge, tools, and procedures needed to prepare for, respond to, and mitigate the consequences of suicide bombers and bombs in the United States. The VBIED CD-ROM Reference Database and Guideline SOPs are recommended tactics, techniques, and procedures to counter the threat represented by VBIEDs. The SOPs are a compilation in CD-ROM format of the knowledge, experience, and expertise of U.S. and international partners for combating these threats. The SOPs promulgate relevant technology and intelligence to assist bomb squads and first responders with training programs and policy development. The CD-ROMs are available for distribution to accredited bomb squads and first responders throughout the United States. Requests from government agencies for additional information should be sent to pubs@cttso.gov.
