IEDs & VBIEDs DVD is a training video for police and other emergency personnel about preparing for and responding to Improvised Explosive Devices. This video is Part 1 of the IED Training Package.
Informative and exciting to watch, this program was produced after recent history showed that IEDs (improvised explosive devices) and VBIEDs (vehicle-borne improvised explosive devices) are often the terrorists' weapon of choice. It is likely that these attacks would be carried out in non-battlefield environments.
First responders will be a community's first line of defense if these deadly weapons are involved in an incident. This program, IEDs & VBIEDs, will raise the awareness of emergency personnel regarding these weapons.
