The Grand Junction Bomb Squad is comprised of employees from both the Grand Junction Police and Fire Departments. Bomb squad members must attend and successfully complete the FBI Hazardous Device School and recertify every three years to maintain their advanced skill level and knowledge.
The bomb squad provides service to fourteen counties in Colorado and Utah, and handles numerous special events, such as the ESPN X Games in Aspen. They also provide training and demonstrations for classes at Colorado Mesa University, our Citizens Public Safety Academy, and other agencies throughout the state.
