Abstract

Bomb threats are a form of crime that is very dangerous to public safety and has the potential to cause significant losses and casualties. The Bomb Disposal Sub Detachment (Jibom) has a critical role in handling various situations involving bomb threats, findings, and disposal. This study aims to comprehensively analyze the role of the Jibom Subden in dealing with bomb threats, starting from the detection stage, identification, to the process of handling and disposing of bombs.
The research methodology uses a qualitative approach with a descriptive study method, collecting data through in-depth interviews with Jibom Subden personnel, field observations, and documentation studies. The study was conducted at the Bomb Disposal Sub-Detachment of the Gegana Detachment of the North Sulawesi Brimob Unit with a focus on the standard operating procedures (SOP) for handling threats, bomb findings and disposal, threat assessments, tactics and techniques used, and challenges faced by the Jibom team in carrying out their duties.
The results of the study indicate that the Jibom Sub-Detachment has a complex and strategic role in dealing with bomb threats. Several key findings include: (1) systematic bomb threat identification and classification procedures, (2) bomb disposal techniques that consider public and environmental safety, and (3) cross-agency coordination in dealing with potential bomb threats.
This study concludes that the Jibom Sub-Detachment plays a key role in maintaining public safety and security. Recommendations submitted include increasing personnel capacity, developing detection technology, and improving bomb threat handling protocols.
