Checkpoint Trainind and IED Recognition



The constant evolution of terrorist tactics makes it critical that security personnel receive constant training to ensure that they remain abreast of threats that come in increasingly sophisticated forms and represent escalating levels of destruction to people and property.

DSA Detection makes compatible consumable products used for Explosive Trace Detection (ETD) with instruments used by the Department of Homeland Security and the military of governments around the world.

Two areas where DSA assists the personnel charged with the safety of both civilians and military personnel, Check Point Training and IED Training, offer the latest techniques and equipment available in the pursuit of this goal.

Security officers responsible for monitoring the comings and goings of people in sensitive areas need to do so efficiently, without sacrificing thoroughness. DSA teaches them how to operate X-ray systems properly from both a practical point of view, and more importantly, from the perspective of correctly interpreting X-ray images. The courses offered cover both walk-through and handheld detectors. Instructors certified by device manufacturers teach operators the fine points of using the various types of equipment, how to make sure that equipment is functioning properly, and procedures to follow if troubleshooting is required. Students who complete these courses can expect the ability to handle typical and unexpected security screening situations.

Along with training to operate checkpoints, DSA also offers comprehensive training to enable personnel to recognize and effectively deal with Improvised Explosive Devices (IEDs).

Students learn through the use of kits designed to raise their level of proficiency at detecting explosive devices disguised as harmless packages, electronics that have had the actual circuits replaced with detonation circuits, and how to ascertain if what appears to be an IED is real, or a decoy designed to direct attention away from the actual threat.

Other training kits deal with items sent through the postal system, air cargo system, and explosives of all types. Kits realistically mimic actual explosives, so that security personnel can practice recognition and safety protocols in order to be fully prepared when the actual need arises.

DSA Detection exerts constant vigilance to keep their training courses and kits current, so that security personnel can remain alert to the ever-changing environment that poses real threats to innocent lives.
