When your personnel are deployed to some of the world’s most inhospitable, and potentially life threatening of environments, you have to consider that they may face unprecedented risk of kidnap or abduction.
To this end, Assured Risk Strategies have formulated a unique and threat-specific training solution that is geared towards the inherent dangers posed by operating in such unstable and dynamic working environments.
The course has been designed to encompass all of the key survival skills and protective steps to ensure that your personnel operate with complete confidence and competence.
Whilst there are a multitude of “conduct after capture” courses already within the current marketplace and security industry, it is patently clear that such training options are solely aimed at high risk security personnel, who often have prior military training or backgrounds.
For the first time, there is now a pre-deployment course specifically aimed at personnel who are primarily employed within the NGO, relief work, charitable sectors and media, and who are likely to deploy to high-risk regions. The course fulfils employer’s duty of care to key employees travelling to such environments and lowers company insurance premiums.
The course assumes no prior counter-kidnap awareness knowledge or skill levels and is delivered in an empathetic manner, whilst drawing upon the latest survival strategies, techniques and interactive training methodologies.
As the course will interface with your current security strategies and procedures, it is only offered on an “in-house” basis, thus ensuring that any information disclosed remains confidential and restricted to authorised personnel only.
Course Overview
With incidents of kidnapping now at its peak, it is imperative that all personnel who are required to operate within the high risk environments learn the key skills to enable them to:
• Be conversant with the risks and threats posed within their theatre or environment of operation
• Learn about the motivation & mentality behind their potential captors’ actions
• Adopt a proactive “hard target mentality” in order to reduce the incidence of abduction / kidnap
• Be prepared for the “reactive phase” in the event of abduction / capture
• Maximise their survivability, regardless of any perceived likely outcomes
With the much publicised beheading of several Western contractors within Iraq, there is no doubt that the thought of being captured in a higher risk environment gives chills to anybody who may have to deploy to such areas.
How many of these poor souls benefited from formal pre-deployment training or received a viable and realistic threat and risk assessment briefings?
The clear evidence of their horrific and torturous demise is sadly still available for all to see across the World Wide Web. Capture CAN be avoided and, in the worst case scenario, capture may not always end in the abductees’ demise.
By utilising the very latest training methodologies, your personnel will be able to deploy with complete confidence and avoid the most common of “default” survival mechanisms - denial!
There are numerous survival strategies that CAN and WILL enable your personnel to operate. There is clearly defined evidence to demonstrate that by simply adopting a high level of awareness your personnel can deploy and safely return home to their loved ones.
“It is not the strongest of the species that survives, or the most intelligent that survives. It is the one that is the most adaptable to change…”
