The Swedish Bomb Data Centre (BDC) is part of the Swedish Security Services. The Centre collects, analyses and supplies information on bomb related incidents in Sweden and abroad.
Part of this work involves information-sharing on the incidents recorded and the centre considers this activity as part of its support services to other police authorities nationally and those of its international allies.
Those involved in the work of the Swedish BDC include:
- Bomb Technicians at the Police Authority
- National Forensic Center
- Defence Research
- National Task Force
With the belief that information-sharing is essential to C-IED work, the BDC participates in the International Bomb Data Center Working Group (IBDCWG).
