Course Description

Butane Hash Oil labs are literally exploding across the USA and Canada.  They create a very dangerous hazard for all first responders as well as neighbors and occupants of structures where BHO is being extracted.  By introducing butane into the extraction process a very  dangerous situation is created.  BHO labs are exploding and causing deaths, injuries, and property damage all around the country.  BHO labs have their own unique set of officer safety hazards and investigative techniques.  It is imperative that first responders are able to recognize these situations and respond in a safe manner.
