The Explosive Ordnance Disposal (EOD) unit, now known as the Bomb Squad, is equipped with a full range of sophisticated equipment, including a robot, and is trained in the use of advanced technology for the purpose of addressing issues involving suspected or actual explosive materials. The six-member squad is accredited by the Federal Bureau of Investigation.
The Bomb Squad is supported by a three-member Explosive Detection Canine Unit, which is based at Bangor International Airport. This K-9 unit maintains three, purpose-trained, Transportation Security Administration (TSA) certified bomb dogs. These are very effective mobile teams trained to identify dangerous materials that may present a threat to all modes of the transportation industry as well as in unattended packages, structures, and vehicles.
