The Sheriff's Office Bomb Squad is the only fully equipped explosives handling team in the Florida Keys. The squad is made up of three trained members who respond to any calls involving found explosives, bomb threats or suspicious packages.

They also handle the destruction of explosive devices, old outdated ammunition, flares and other dangerous items. Citizens who have such items to dispose of should contact Sgt. Bobby Randolph to discuss safe handling and disposal.

The Sheriff's Office Bomb Squad has state of the art equipment to handle dangerous situations and have, in the past, been called upon to dismantle home made explosive devices, destroy old dynamite, clear buildings of dangerous explosives, and search buildings, boats and other locations for possible explosives. 

With the help of a grant from the Department of Environmental Protection, the squad recently acquired a Thermal destruction Unit (burn unit) to destroy explosive materials safely. Prior to it's acquisition, a member of the Bomb Squad had to transport such items to Dade County for destruction.
