Trainer

A former informant and now expert with experience in radicalisation, deradicalisation, countering violent extremism (CVE), National security and Counter-terrorism. Course Trainer was born and raised in Canada, growing up with two conflicting and competing cultures. At the age of 19, he went to India and Pakistan where he had a chance encounter with the Taliban before their takeover of Afghanistan in 1995.  Course Trainer became fully radicalised as a supporter of the global Jihadist culture, recruiting others but the 9/11 attacks forced to him reconsider his views. He spent 2 years in Syria, continuing his study of Arabic and Islamic Studies and went through a period of full deradicalisation.

Returning to Canada in 2004, he was recruited by the Canadian Security Intelligence Service (CSIS) and worked several CLASSIFIED infiltration operations on the internet, in chat-protected forums and on the ground with human networks.  In late 2005, one of those intelligence files moved to the Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP), Integrated National Security Enforcement Team (INSET) for investigation. The "Toronto 18" terrorism case resulted in the conviction of 11 aspiring violent extremists after testifying over 4 years, in 5 legal hearings at the Ontario Superior Court of Justice.

Course Trainer has since obtained a Master of Policing, Intelligence and Counter Terrorism (MPICT). He is now an external SME (Subject Matter Expert) on national security and counterterrorism to the Command Staff of CENTCOM, the United Nations Security Council & Counter Terrorism Executive Directorate and trains police, intelligence and special operations forces on relevant topics. He has appeared on multiple U.S., British and Canadian media outlets (CNN, CBC, ABC and NBC) as a commentator and is extensively involved with the ISIS social media and Foreign Fighter file, including Returnees and rehabilitation.

Trainer

Trainer 1 is a highly skilled security strategist who applies the principles of Secured by Design effectively alongside his extensive industry knowledge and experience to add value to projects through developing clear and effective strategic security intent, integrating innovative physical controls, technical measures and procedural responses applied at reasonable cost in relation to identified risks. He drives projects to completion; ensuring security control systems are delivered to implementation and operation. Operating with ease in multi-disciplinary environments he liaises with architectural and engineering teams applying design solutions for changing threats, using a risk based approach. This ensures crime prevention and physical asset protection are considered at the earliest stages, achieving significant savings and value through effective specification.

Trainer 1 specialises in protection of crowded spaces, such as mixed-use developments, sports venues, universities, hotels and shopping complexes. Consideration of behavioural aspects, through application of his social and criminological studies enables Trainer 1 to implement Crime Prevention Through Environmental Design. This seeks to reduce the occurrence of and impacts of Crime and Anti-Social behaviour and improve the experience for target segment customers. Trainer 1 has worked on projects around the world and was the lead security designer for the London 2012 Stadium.

Trainer 2 is a Security Design Strategist. In the last four years, he has been involved in the security design of three first class football stadium, a railway station, a student campus, a group of London theatres and an iconic tourist venue.

He was senior crime prevention design advisor to Metropolitan Police Specialist Operations. Trainer 2 draws upon extensive experience with the Metropolitan Police, and holds internal UK Government Home Office qualifications in crime prevention and counter-terrorism design techniques alongside independent academic qualifications in crime prevention and environmental design. He is used to working in environments requiring confidentiality and has been vetted to 'SC' level.

Case Studies

The World Trade Centre 1993 bombing

Iconic static target: Home-made explosive delivered by encroachment during the “business as usual” phase of activity-how practical is eternal vigilance? How and where could countermeasures be deployed?

Nice attack: Promenade des Anglais, Bastille Day 2016

Vehicle attack on a national public occasion/ example of attack method displacement where control measures had limited access to explosives -can we predict which potential targets to protect?. How do we define the target in these circumstances-what mitigation could be used and what might be practical?

The London 2012 Olympics

A practical exercise with maps of a massive complex target, this exercise will consider the three phases of construction, event and legacy focussing on access in the urban landscape, critical assets and crowded places.

London Borough Market Attack

An opportunity to discuss changing attack methodologies and opportunities to reduce their effect in a practical context.
