Counter Terrorism Awareness and Attack Preparedness for Organisations

Hotels, malls, places of worship and corporate campuses in several African countries have faced terrorist attacks, and preparedness dramatically improves survival and response. This course raises awareness of terrorist tactics and helps organisations prepare staff to recognise warning signs and respond to an active attack. Delegates learn hostile reconnaissance detection, the run, hide and tell response, lockdown procedures and how to support people during and after an attack.
