IED - Package Inspection and Mailroom Procedures

This one, two, or three day course will review common Improvised Explosive Devices (IED) used in mailroom and package attacks. Participants will be presented with detailed examples of IED's, X-ray and current detection equipment, methods to establish evacuation protocols for IED threats (e.g. fire drill, code word), past attack tactics, especially those used against security measures similar to those in place at the facility or event, and best practices relating to package handling and mailroom procedures.

This course will be tailored to your specific mission and will include Explosive recognition, IED components, IED recognition and explosive detection. In addition, if your facility has a mail room X-Ray inspection portal, IED X-Ray interpretation can be added. The X-ray training portion will also include practical, hands on training, with your specific equipment, of the recognition of current trends in mail bomb IED's, and proficiency tests. NDPCI has an assortment of approximately 25 IED's that will be used during the training. These IED's have been used by bombers in the past, and the IED components and configuration are still being seen. Participants will receive Coalition member access to a web-based post-course resource site and a resource CD.
