Call 911 if any suspicious devices are found or if any suspicious activity is observed involving the procurement or use of explosive materials.
If a device or explosive precursors are found, do not touch or move the items, but wait for first responders to render them safe and conduct a follow-on investigation.
All explosives, including homemade fireworks, present potentially serious safety dangers. Manufacturing explosives may result in state or federal criminal charges.
The task force includes the Kaua‘i Police Department and departments across the state.
