The Wyoming Office of Homeland Security has
five canines who joined the Wyoming Office of Homeland security as certified Vom
Kaiserhofe explosive detection dogs. Three of the dogs are 
assigned
to handlers within the Wyoming Office of Homeland Security. K9 team Tischer and
Wilco are based in the Casper International Airport. K9 team Scimone and Lillie
are with the Wyoming Highway Patrol.
The canines are primarily utilized
when there is no inclination of where an explosive device is located. The canines
are also trained to sniff out explosive devices in vehicles and schools.
Each canine has a "sniffer vocabulary" consisting of 12 different
odors.
The canines may be deployed anywhere in the state, 24 hours a
day, seven days a week, via request. Requests can be made by calling (307)
777-4900 or by calling Highway Patrol Dispatch and asking
for the WOHS duty officer.
Remotec F6-A Robot
.
The robot, sometimes called "Miss Daisy" can be remotely controlled from up to 1,500 feet away via fiber optic cable or radio control. The articulating are is capable of remotely picking up hazardous devices as well as rendering them safe-in-place with two arm-mounted disruptors and a shotgun.
The robot can also be used in criminal investigations where officer safety is an issue.
Everest Video Inspection Tech (VIT)
The VIT is nine-foot-long, flexible fiber-optics cable with eight- and four-millimeter proble attachments. The VIT assists in investigating suspicious packages or potential explosives in places such as car trunks, where it would be dangerous or even impossible for a person to inspect.
The VIT can also be used in criminal investigations where officer safety is an issue.
Bomb Transport Trailer
The trailer is equipped with a remote loading system and a robotic arm capable of loading explosive devices or chemicals into the trailer without fear of harming First Responders or others on the scene. The robotic arm transfers its explosive or hazardous cargo to a bucket, which is then pulled into the trailer, successfully keeping those involved in the response from any interaction with the device or chemical.
