In 2016 the Federal Bureau of Investigation assumed responsibility for the Hazardous Devices School (HDS) at Redstone Arsenal in Huntsville, Alabama from the Army. The 400-acre facility dates back to 1971 and over the past 45-years has trained and certified more than 20,000 police and public safety bomb technicians as the country's sole source school of its kind for non-military explosive ordnance disposal (EOD) technicians. The FBI has long partnered with the Army in training, and pushing out standardized equipment to each of the 467 public bomb squads in the field.
