The HME Course (3 days) is developed for Canine Handler Teams to imprint their canine on Hexamethylenetriperoxidediamine (HMTD), Triacetonetriperoxide (TATP) and other known HME components as well as learn the tactics, techniques and procedures (TTP) that accompany deferent HME, explosive and oxidizer detection. TTPs are taught through customizable scenario based training with pure odor and mixed odor to replicate real world finds.

K2’s HME program has a specialized exercise to rank each reagent in terms of use and accessibility, by terrorists both foreign and domestic. HME components are the most accessible and the most utilized explosives by terrorists because they can be purchased over the counter. HMEs are also highly unstable with a high detonation velocity, making them an efficient, and lethal explosive.

Training is provided by K2’s Certified EOD Technician/Special Operations Operator with over 20 years of operational and training experience and a Detection K9 Subject Mater Experts with over 20 years of operational and training experience.
