This training was a blast! #FBISaltLakeCity hosted an explosive awareness course for K-9 handlers, who got to see how various materials are used to make IEDs and their effects when they detonate. Training with our partners allows us to stay ahead of this ever-evolving threat. pic.twitter.com/roZnMWkm98
