Guide for the Selection of Commercial Explosives Detection Systems for Law Enforcement Applications
This guide provides law enforcement agencies with information to be used in the selection and utilization of explosives detection equipment and techniques. This NIJ guide considers a wide array of important factors that should be considered by purchasers, including cost, sensitivity, portability, and ease of use. Advice about what technologies are likely to work best in various applications and a market survey of trace and x-ray-based commercial detection systems known to the authors as of October 1998 are also included.

Evaluation of a Test Protocol for Explosives Trace Detectors Using a Representative Commercial Analyzer
This report describes a study of a test protocol for evaluating trace explosives detectors. The purpose of the study was to determine whether law enforcement personnel who lack special training in explosives detection could use the test protocol and obtain meaningful results. The report includes a discussion of experimental methods used by the researchers, test results, and conclusions.

Survey of Commercially Available Explosives Detection Technologies and Equipment 2004
"This document provides an overview of currently available explosives detection methods and technologies to aid the law enforcement community in the selection of explosives detection equipment for various applications. This document is intended to inform law enforcement agencies about relevant aspects of explosives detection for making procurement decisions. This document is not intended to be a procurement guide and does not make specific recommendations. Each reader must reach his or her own conclusions, based on the unique needs of the agency seeking information. All detection methods and technologies have advantages and disadvantages; the buyer must determine which aspects have the most relevance for the buyer's application."

Overview of Explosives Detection Research and Development in Department 5848 at Sandia National Laboratories
"This paper provides an overview of work performed during the past five years in the area of explosives detection in the Contraband Detection Technologies department at Sandia National Laboratories. Broadly speaking, this work falls into two categories. First, the department has been in the forefront of developing trace detection technology for real-world applications. The basis for this technology has been a patented chemical preconcentrator that collects vapor and particles of explosives with high efficiency, prior to delivery into a chemical sensor. This preconcentrator has been used in several systems, most notably a personnel portal developed with primary funding from the Federal Aviation Administration. Second, the department serves as the main resource on explosives detection information for the United States Department of Energy (DOE), and has consulted and developed documents for other government agencies. One important aspect of this work is an on-going program of commercial equipment evaluation for the DOE. The paper concludes with a brief discussion of possible future directions."
