How does my department host regional hands-on live BATS training?
As part of our commitment to supporting bomb squads & fire investigation units, the U.S. Bomb Data Center (USBDC) has provided training & direction to all ATF special agents on protocols for coordinating BATS training for their state & local partners. The main requirement is obtaining use of a computer lab with computers for each attendee (e.g., police academy, fire academy, community college, etc). Each session covers real-world scenarios (e.g., bombings, juvenile fire setters, explosive recoveries, car fires, training activities, etc) and typically lasts approximately 3 hours. The USBDC recommends a minimum of 15 attendees for each session. Please submit your BATS training request to your local ATF office.
