Would one need to be a part of the police dept., or is there some specialized force that is seperate from a regular PD?

Well, it definately helps if you join the military to learn about demolitions.

jaydee, if I'm not mistaken, past experience w/ explosives training from the military sounds like a sure qualification.

Police departments in major metropolitan areas send qualified personnell to the appropriate schools. If you want to be on a bomb squad it would help if you became a cop first.

There must be some classes or something that could take the place of having military experience (which I couldn't do even if I wanted to for medical reasons).
