Manage guard force competence, supervision and performance on crisis simulation exercises.
Simulating Crisis Scenarios and Emergency Exercises
An applied course in crisis simulation exercises built around the decisions practitioners actually face.
Course Overview
Guard force performance on crisis simulation exercises reflects supervision, not instruction. Security arrangements around this part of corporate security practice are tested by adversaries, not by auditors. Improvement in the wider corporate security practice agenda stalls when it depends on one capable individual rather than a defined method. The programme takes participants through crisis simulation exercises end to end, from framing the problem to closing it out. Each session closes with a decision the participant must justify about this aspect of corporate security practice in their own setting. Participants gain a clear basis for measuring what this strand of corporate security practice has actually achieved. It suits anyone whose decisions touch crisis simulation exercises, in large organisations and small ones alike. Organisations that document the practice within corporate security practice properly resolve disputes about it far more quickly. Work concludes with a self-assessment of the corporate security practice capability that participants can repeat annually.

Course Modules
Crisis simulation exercises: incident response and escalation
2 sessions · 8 pointsSession 1Handling evidence from crisis simulation exercises so it survives scrutiny

Session 2The first fifteen minutes of an incident involving crisis simulation exercises
- Benchmark the organisation's crisis simulation exercises against comparable operations.
- Review crisis simulation exercises after every incident, exercise or change in threat.
- Confirm recorded material from crisis simulation exercises is retained long enough to be useful.
- Name a single owner for each element of crisis simulation exercises.
Crisis simulation exercises: insider risk, vetting and personnel security
2 sessions · 8 pointsSession 1Surveillance on crisis simulation exercises that supports an investigation later
- Report on crisis simulation exercises in terms that support an investment decision.
- Identify vulnerabilities in crisis simulation exercises and rank them by consequence, not ease of fix.
