 Previous encounters have shown that people who are prepared suffer the least physical and emotional harm when taken hostage. The more the potential hostage knows about techniques to cope with abduction, the better their prospects, not only for withstanding the stresses, treatment and conditions of captivity, but also, and ultimately, for their survival.
Whoever the hostage takers are, the criminally or politically motivated or the mentally disturbed, it is usual for hostages to become traumatized by their experiences. However, it is possible to train your vulnerable personnel to withstand even the most volatile of hostage incidents.
 With years of experience in handling hostage and kidnap situations, our experts can provide your people with awareness, preparedness and prevention strategies to reduce their risks of abduction, and equip them with techniques to call upon should the worst happen. Research has shown that seldom used skills are perishable and become difficult to recall and implement in times of crisis. In a non-sensory training environment, case studies will be analysed to unravel the unique hostage experience, illuminating the theoretical approach with practical examples to help delegates to learn by embedding understanding in real life accounts.
Course content includes hostage-taking countermeasures, personal resilience, influencing the captors and a useful summary of the do’s and don’ts of hostage behaviour.
Available as a one-day course, either at your venue or at a range of venues in the UK and other countries, our people have the academic skills and operational experience to give your people the best in theory and practice.
That’s our approach - Risk Angels, the best of both worlds.
