I have been researching equipment for mine detecting recently for inclusion in an upcoming equipment list I'll post.

I put them under MARS because it seems the military and police give them extra combat training over that of line troops and beat cops. I think the assumption is that some significant portion of the time they are going to be at risk of being attacked by whoever planted or controls the explosives.

Plus, I see this as an area where they are much more likely to have been recruited with the skills rather than trained by TMP, so if they are already going to have that military/police background you might as well acknowledge it and ensure that they can serve in a more general MARS role when there are no explosives to deal with.
