The primary mission of the Bomb Squad is to ensure the safety and well being of the members of the City's diverse communities as well as the safety of all public safety personnel who may be first responders to an explosive-related incident.

The LAPD Bomb Squad has been serving the residents of Los Angeles since 1950. They are comprised of 28 highly trained bomb technicians and five explosive detection canines. The Bomb Squad has responded to over 1000 calls for service per year for the past 4 years.

They are responsible for the handling, transportation and rendering safe of all explosive items located within the City. If a suspicious item is found, call 9-1-1 immediately to request assistance and clear the area.

Do not attempt to move or open the suspected item under any circumstances.
