Threat Detection & Intervention
Our threat detection and intervention curriculum will educate how to recognize and respond to suspicious behavior in a variety of environments. The class is structured into two distinct key learnings: First education to raise awareness of potential safety issues. And second, how to recognize and respond to situations where a person is displaying suspicious behavior. Students learn the importance of nonverbal communication and the use of “conversation management” to help guide conversations to determine if what the person is saying is truthful. The course provides students with all the skills needed for conversational management to identify threats against our safety.
+ Lesson 1 – Risk Identification
In lesson one we explore learn why crime occurs, how to name the risks within our community, how to define risk mitigation and how risk plays an instrumental role in creating and understanding security culture.
+ Lesson 2 – Suspicious Activity
The lesson explores ways to identify suspicious behaviors in a varity of public and private environments. Through the use of case studies we learn behavioral warnings signs that can be used to help identify criminal acts before they occur.
+ Lesson 3 – Surveillance Awareness
When acts of masss violence are later analyzed, the results often show that the offender carried out pre-incident surveillance or conducted some type of rehearsal at the location before carrying out the violent act. During this module, participants learn the principles of surveillance and how the perpetrator defines their tactics.
+ Lesson 4 – Conversation Management
Now we understand the threats and what suspicious behavior looks like in our environments we learn how to mitigate risk through an approach we call conversational interviewing. In this session we learn methodology and the principles behind effective conversational interviewing through the understanding of questioning choices.
+ Lesson 5 – Scenario Training
With the participants now able to define suspicious behavior and body language, now is the time they take action and apply the principles learnt in lessons 1 through 4. Whatever your role, the scenario training will test the principles of observation, body language and the ability to sieve through information and responses to when conducting a conversational interview to determine if the person poses a threat to your environment.
+ Certificate of Completion
Each participant that completes the program is certified by Kingswood Security Consulting LLC, in threat detection and intervention.
