Training for the threat. Protecting Arkansas.
FBI Little Rock hosted tryouts for agents seeking to become bomb technicians with the Arkansas Render Safe Task Force, the FBI-led bomb squad in Arkansas made up of federal, state, and local law enforcement partners.
FBI bomb technicians perform some of the most dangerous work in the Bureau, responding to and investigating actual and threatened explosive devices in the U.S. and around the world. Technicians train extensively to prepare for dangerous, time-sensitive situations and earn their certification through the FBI Hazardous Devices School in Huntsville, Alabama.
We’re grateful to our partners at the Arkansas State Police and Little Rock Fire Department for joining us for today’s tryouts. Together, through the Arkansas Render Safe Task Force, our partners work every day to protect Arkansas from some of the most dangerous threats.
