ATF explosives detection K-9 Claude from the Boston Field Division helped to support the Presidential Inauguration last Friday by performing security sweeps, ensuring the safety of all attendees. ATF's explosives detection canines (EDC) are trained to find explosives and firearms-related evidence. Because EDCs can detect up to 19,000 different explosive odor combinations, they are frequently requested by investigators to seek out explosives, guns and spent ammunition evidence in violent crime investigations. In addition, the canine teams are often requested to secure major public events, schools, and federal buildings by searching for explosives in the areas. #ATF #DogdayMonday #DogsOfInstagram #Working #Dogs #K9 #Police #InaugurationDay #POTUS #Presidential #Inauguration #Boston
Seattle-area drivers may drive past this digital billboard and see an important message to help stop gun violence by calling the ATF firearms tip line. ATF's Seattle Field Division has the message on display in Renton, Wash., through Jan. 23. The billboard is designed to help law enforcement and the community work together to help stop gun violence in the Seattle area. Those who need to report felons and drug dealers with guns are asked to call ATF at 1-800-ATF-GUNS (283-4867). Tips on any illegal gun use will be accepted at the number and a reward may be offered if someone’s tip leads to a conviction. Other ATF field divisions using billboards have seen an increase in tips. The Seattle-area billboard is expected to garner about 240,000 views during the two-week period, which began Jan. 9. The billboard display is being run in conjunction with ATF’s new mobile app, ReportIt®. Using the app on a phone, tablet or computer, people will be able to instantly and anonymously report crimes that involve firearms, explosives, violent crime or arson. Information on the app is available at www.atf.gov/atf-tips. #Seattle #Washington #Firearms #Guns #Violence #ReportIt

1992: ATF Special Response Team (SRT) training. ATF's SRT was formed to manage the inherent risks associated with the investigation and apprehension of some of the country’s most violent criminals. The SRT program contains five teams, all of which are components that respond to high-risk operations involving the service of arrest and search warrants, home invasion investigations, undercover operations, tracking of personnel in rural areas by human and K-9 operators, high-risk surveillance, and more. #SpecialResponseTeam #ATF #SRT #LawEnforcement #Police #TBT #ThrowbackThursday #SpecialAgents #Tires

ATF K-9 Jax is thinking "Why can't I have one?!" as he attends the @naiasdetroit auto show to help provide security. ATF's explosives detection canines (EDCs) are trained to find explosives and firearms-related evidence. Because EDCs can detect up to 19,000 different explosive odor combinations, they are frequently requested by investigators to seek out explosives, guns and spent ammunition evidence in violent crime investigations. In addition, they are also asked to secure major public events, schools, and federal buildings by searching for explosives in the areas. #ATF #DogDayMonday #DogsOfInstagram #Working #Dogs #K9s #Detroit #Auto #Show #AutoShow #NAIAS
