The workshop takes the form of lectures, workshops, discussions and exercises, during which delegates, syndicated into groups, will have the opportunity to solve typical security problems. REID TECHNIQUE OF INVESTIGATIVE INTERVIEWING FOR LOSS PREVENTION & CORPORATE SECURITY PERSONNEL Grand Hyatt, Dubai; 4th - 7th June This four-day workshop is specifically designed for corporate security, loss prevention & asset protection professionals as well as Human Resources personnel. During the first three days, participants will learn the Reid Technique of Interviewing and Interrogation, widely recognised at the most effective means available to exonerate the innocent and identify the guilty. The workshop is based on the basic tenet of the Reid Technique, as taught by John E. Reid and Associates, that a custodial suspect must be advised of his rights prior to questioning about a criminal act. The fourth day is designed to build on the information learned and particular emphasis is placed on how to elicit information from the suspect during the interview stage that will serve as the basis for developing an individualised interrogational approach, based on the suspect's profile and characteristics. STRATEGIC SECURITY MANAGEMENT Madinat Jumeirah, Dubai; 22nd - 26th July This five-day workshop is designed to enhance security managers' ability to formulate security policy and manage security programmes at a regional or corporate level. It is assumed participants have already attended core skills and senior security management programmes and have a strong understanding of security risk management and the application of physical and procedural security. The course will culminate in a one-day strategic security management simulation exercise, which is designed to provide a realistic context in which delegates, working in syndicates, can exercise the skills learned on the course. The exercise will be based around a series of security events which befall a notional company and will test delegates' ability to address the needs of the company stakeholders in a balanced manner whilst simultaneously ensuring that corporate interests remain paramount.
