Emergency First Responder Equipment Guides
October 2001

The National Institute of Justice (NIJ) is creating a series of Guides for first responder equipment that will provide agencies with information on the types and capabilities of available equipment. While only the first in this series, a "Guide for the Selection of Chemical Agent and Toxic Industrial Material Detection Equipment for Emergency First Responders", has been published, NIJ is releasing working drafts of the remaining Guides in response to the September 11 terrorist attacks as soon as they are available. These draft Guides are only available electronically on NIJ's web site and are subject to change prior to being posted in
their final form.
