Specifications include, but are not limited to: The training must: 1. Provide a documented refresher on theory, tactics and techniques that students have received in previous training. 2. Provide crucial updates in the field of specialized law enforcement tactics and explosive breaching, including energetics, charge construction, common trend in law enforcement and military deployment, policy and procedure development and revisions, laws and regulations, etc. 3. Provide a progressive hands-on opportunity to build and develop proficiency in all facets of explosive breaching operations from pre planning to site assessment, to briefing and operational and post blast analysis. 4. Include students performing mathematical explosive calculations, predicting collateral damage, understanding alternate methods of breaching, and understanding individual charge capabilities and hazards. 5. Build on and be consistent with previous explosive breaching training offered in the bistate area in the past five years and the explosive breaching shot packet documentation in use within the region. 6. Emphasize pre shot recon and data collection, pre shot planning and pre and post documentation and record keeping. 7. Emphasize safety considerations in planning and execution and the surgical application of the appropriate explosives for the particular circumstances. 8. Provide multiple practical applications over the course of the five days building in complexity to demonstrate knowledge of the theory of explosives, explosions and explosive breaching, safety and recognition of explosives, firing devices and accessories, construction of non‐electric firing systems, construction/placement and firing of wood and metal door breaching charges (calculating net, explosive weight and safe stand‐off distance, target, analysis) and barricaded doors. 9. Be designed so each student participates in each of the practical portions to demonstrate effective planning for and execution of explosive breaching in a variety of settings, including law enforcement hostage rescue operations, barricaded subjects warrant service and other critical incidents. 10.
