Search, Isolation & Clearance

In theatres where insurgents pepper routes and sensitive locations with IEDs, search teams must work in a pattern to clear vulnerable points.  Having detected an IED they must establish whether it is radio controlled or command wire controlled and take appropriate action to identify it, isolate it and clear it.

Search is a vital but often overlooked area of capability that is relevant to both Counter Terrorism and Anti-Smuggling operations as often the same or similar equipment and techniques are used.

Kirintec staff has lots of relevant experience in both areas ranging from low risk search projects for international heads of state summits through to advising and implementing border crossing and customs search packages for the EU.

It is worth pointing out that in order to protect a country’s ‘Internal Security’ it needs to control what crosses its borders; conversely within its borders, for security forces to deny terrorists achieving their objectives they first need to find materials or devices intended to cause harm. This is where the importance of search as distinct discipline has an important part to play.

Based on this background we can advise clients on best practice and equipment to suit their application
