“With this accomplishment, he joins an exclusive group of approximately 3,000 certified public safety bomb technicians nationwide,” it stated. “These professionals play a critical role in protecting communities from explosive threats, and their specialized training is essential for ensuring public safety in an ever-evolving landscape of hazards.”
