Terrorism Studies and Counter Terrorism Behavioural Detection

The advancement of behavioral detection plays a pivotal role in mitigating the persistent risk of terrorist attacks in modern society. This critical function, once the exclusive domain of specially trained law enforcement officers, now sees broader inclusion with private security professionals actively contributing to this specialized domain.

A practitioner skilled in Counter-Terrorism Behavioral Detection is adept at identifying subtle cues that might suggest an individual is out of place among their surroundings. Such an operator is trained to anticipate suspicious behavior, identify deceit, and recognize the signs of hostile reconnaissance.

The curriculum of this course is centered around three key themes:

1) Understanding of terrorism, including the ideologies of terrorists and extremists, potential targets, and the tactics they employ;

2) The study of criminal and human behavior within the contexts of criminal activity and terrorism;

3) Mastery of surveillance and counter-surveillance methods, along with the deployment of relevant technologies.

In practical terms, the course delivered in Singapore lays the groundwork for:

• Comprehending various forms of terrorism and acts of political violence;

• Employing protective measures through human behavioral scanning and screening within a counter-terrorism framework;

• Recognizing indicators of deception through verbal cues and body language patterns;

• Gaining insight into surveillance strategies and identifying individuals engaged in hostile surveillance activities.

Note: Please note, this course is primarily designed for law enforcement personnel, military members, and security practitioners. Due to the sensitive nature of the content covered, participants not affiliated with these professions will undergo a vetting process prior to enrollment to ensure the appropriateness of their participation
