You’ve received complaints about strange smells wafting from the property, traffic comes and goes at all hours of the night, and a small dump sits in the back containing cold medicine bottles, modified propane tanks, solvent containers, and lithium battery skins. All signs of a small clandestine drug lab on the premises.
You brief your team before the raid while a thousand things race through your mind. On the top of the list: what are the hazards you might encounter? The physical ones are most obvious. You’ve heard of everything from landmines, homemade bombs, and automatic weapons, to snakes, tigers, and rottweilers.
