Description: The Technical Resource for Incident Prevention
(TRIPWire) is DHS's online, collaborative, information-sharing network
for bomb squad, law enforcement, and other emergency services personnel
to learn about current terrorist improvised explosive device (IED)
tactics, techniques, and procedures, including design and emplacement
considerations. Developed and maintained by the DHS Office for Bombing
Prevention (OBP), the system combines expert analyses and reports with
relevant documents, images, and videos gathered directly from terrorist
sources to assist law enforcement to anticipate, identify, and prevent
IED incidents. The TRIPWire portal contains sensitive information
related to terrorist use of explosives and therefore user information
is needed to verify eligibility and access to the system.
