TALLAHASSEE, FL (WTXL) - After 3 attacks spanning across two states all involving explosive devices, local law enforcement have teamed up to make sure that the community is protected.
The Big Bend Bomb Squad is made up of 5 different agencies in North Florida. They work to dispose of any potentially explosive devices. They are trained at a federal level with over 200 hours of bomb technician classes.
That's on top of the 16 hours a month they come together to practice real life situations. It's that collaboration that officials said lets them know that they're prepared for any situation.
Recently the Leon County Sheriff's Department added a new robot that lets them examine explosives from a safe distance.
