Sophisticated equipment is used, says S. Vijay Kumar It had all the ingredients of real time action. Sleuths of the Bomb Detection and Disposal Squad (BDDS) clad in their safety attires were trying to locate an “explosive” concealed in a car. Besides hand held metal detector, under vehicle mirror, search lights and sniffer dogs, sophisticated equipment such as the Explosive Vapour Detector was also used to locate the “explosive.” This exercise was part of a demonstration made by the BDDS unit of Madurai City to senior police officials. Under the instructions of the Commissioner of Police, K. Nandabalan, the BDDS police demonstrated various techniques of bomb detection and disposal at the Armed Reserve Grounds on Thursday. Police officials trained at the National Security Guards headquarters (New Delhi) explained advanced techniques of anti-sabotage checks with specific reference to explosive detection. The non-linear junction detector (NLJD) that can sense and deactivate remote controlled and cell phone operated explosive devices was also demonstrated. The BBDS Inspector, A. Rajendran, briefed all Assistant Commissioners of Police and Inspectors on the components of Improvised Explosive Devices and means to detect/deactivate them. The training programme would cover the entire city police up to the constable level in a phased manner, police sources said. “The demonstration gains significance in the backdrop of VVIP visits and other special occasions. The exposure will help police personnel handle emergency situations involving explosives with ease and confidence. The city police are being trained on various fronts including crime detection, advanced investigation skills and riot management,” Mr. Nandabalan said. “We convened a meeting of retired police officials recently and requested them to lend their expertise in handling sensitive cases,” he added.
