Week Five of FBI Citizen’s Academy
Another great FBI Citizen’s Academy class. Last week we focused on: Crisis (Hostage) Negotiations; Human Trafficking, and Bomb Squad.
All the topics were intensely interesting and the presenters were great. I was particularly impressed by the joint leads of the Human Trafficking task force: an Anchorage Police Department Sergeant and a FBI Special Agent, both of whom are women and really dedicated. I was blown away.
Speaking of blown away, the bomb squad presentation was great fun and really informative. I felt like I had the inside story on The Hurt Locker. We even tried on bomb suits - the same models used in The Hurt Locker. $23,000 per suit but evidently the best. They’re very heavy - the helmut alone must weigh 30 lbs.
Below is a video that opened up the bomb squad presentation.
It’s great fun - definitely rigged. But still a blast (literally).
And from two weeks ago, here’s our “Class Photo”. We were doing crime scene investigation practice.
