It’s time to register for the next IABTI Webinar! Please join us on Wednesday the 20th of May 2026 from 1200-1300 EST, for:
Bomb Squad Operations at Special Events - Part 2
Maintaining the safety and integrity of our open society is vital to our nation, especially at potentially soft targets, large mass gatherings, and symbolic events. Terrorists and other violent actors have plotted against or attacked such places using simple, low-cost methods with minimal identifiable indicators. These special events, which can be national, regional, or community activities like concerts, major sporting events, or political rallies, require additional planning, prevention, and response services to ensure public safety. It is critical to understand the threat, develop operational and contingency plans, and conduct special event-specific training to prevent and respond to threats and incidents targeting special events. This two-part webinar will discuss the threat, review historical attack methodology, and discuss best practices and other considerations for planning, preparation, training, training, operations, and response.

Our Panelist for this Webinar will be Mr. Steve Miller.

Had the pleasure of attending Graduation for Class 25420S and our intern Chris from several years back. Our COO Jeff David had the honor of pinning on Chris' crab. First duty station? Kadena! Might just have to arrange another visit to Okinawa.

Registered already! Going to be another great IABTI Webinar.

🎤 Webinar Wednesdays are back! 🎤

Join us for a webinar on Feb 25, 2026 at 12:00 PM EST, featuring ATF Special Agent (ret) Tina Sherrow Bayless.

On September 1, 2006, a bomb exploded in the Hinsdale, IL BNSF Railway Train Station. Two weeks later, another device exploded outside the Salt Lake City Public Library in Salt Lake City, Utah. In this two-part series, our presenters will discuss the crime scenes and investigations on both bombings, the explosive/ incendiary post blast device reconstructions and comparisons of the devices, and the extensive prosecutions that took place.

In Part One, scheduled for February 25, 2026, Tina Sherrow Bayless will discuss the Hinsdale bombing and Hinsdale threat letter; end the episode talking about leads at the time (Gerald Kuchna, a red herring) and receiving a call from the SLC office about a bombing in Utah and the SLC office having an arrest warrant in the AOR for the ATF Downers Grove Office.

To register for the webinar, go to www.iabti.org and login to your account. Navigate to the "On Demand Training" section under the "Events" tab.
