ABSTRACT
The emphasis in this book was placed on the investigation of clandestine drug labs, with explosives and their manufacture discussed as corollary material. This coincides with the author’s experience in investigating hundreds of clandestine lab incidents. In his experience, approximately 1% of the operations he responded to involved the actual manufacturing of explosives. While this may seem to be insignificant in the overall scheme of things, it could prove to be the proverbial tip of the iceberg. Most of these operations involving explosives were detected as a result of a clandestine drug lab investigation or were found by emergency medical personnel when responding to a call for assistance.
