Theory and Practice in Forensics: Detecting Explosive Materials
Speaker: Bruce Quinn, Inspector, Dept of Public Safety State Fire
Marshall's Office
Sam, K9 Officer, Dept of Public Safety State
Fire Marshall's Office
Because of concerns that terrorists may gain access to our schools and
airports, programs have been set up all over the country to protect
Americans from potentially explosive materials. Teams of counter-terrorist
specialists work behind the scenes in airports, as part of the TSA, and in
our own neighborhoods to keep us safe at work and at play. One type of team
is composed of a highly effective fire inspector and his english labrador
retriever, who is a working partner, trained to use his keen nose to sniff
out dangerous materials. It is well known that these capable dogs can find
individual compounds even when they have been mixed or masked by other
strong odors.
Sam and Bruce Quinn make up one of these specialized teams who keep Rhode
Islanders safe.
Bruce will discuss the details of the chemical and behavioral aspects of his
work. Sam will then demonstrate the process of locating some dangerous
substances.
