Description
One-Day Behavioural Detection Awareness
Identify – Observe – Disrupt
Countering Hostile, Disruptive & Criminal Intent
The One-Day Behavioural Detection Awareness is a highly effective measure designed to seamlessly integrate within your existing security strategy, creating a wider layer of protective capability. Empowering all public-facing and frontline staff with a proactive mindset and skills to recognise, interpret, and appropriately respond to suspicious behaviour linked to hostile, disruptive, or criminal intent in a customer focussed way.
Initially developed by the UK CPNI (now NPSA) as a counter-terrorism measure for law enforcement and government agencies for onsite safeguarding of critical infrastructure, behavioural detection continues to demonstrate equal value amongst the protective security landscape, identifying and disrupting criminal and disruptive intent. Integration of behavioural detection enhances the effect and reach of your wider safety & security operation, safeguarding the public and crowded spaces.
behavioural detection is a scientifically grounded, evidence-based and non-discriminatory approach that enhances existing safety and security measures. Rather than relying on profiling or stereotyping, participants learn to observe behavioural cues, stress indicators, and activity patterns that may signal threat.
This interactive one-day programme introduces the principles of behavioural detection within the UK National Protective Security Authority (NPSA) 3D Disruptive Effects Model, demonstrating how early identification, effective reporting, and timely escalation can disrupt threats before they escalate.
Participants develop a proactive mindset and improved situational awareness, enabling them to move beyond passive observation. The course provides a structured understanding of hostile reconnaissance, insider threats, and criminal behaviours commonly seen across environments such as transport hubs, retail spaces, corporate estates, public venues, events, and crowded places.
Delivered by instructors with extensive real-world experience in counter-terrorism, surveillance, behavioural detection and serious crime investigation, this course equips attendees with practical knowledge that is immediately applicable. By the end of the day, teams are more confident, observant, and capable of contributing meaningfully to a safer environment—whatever their role.
Pricing can be tailored according to the country, group size, and the training package selected to best meet the customer’s needs.
