What’s Inside?
In our cover feature, Mark James gets deep inside the head of the terrorist in order to understand his motivation, explore the dogma and ideology of terrorism and break down the indoctrination process. Issue 27 brings you the answers to many ‘What if’ questions. We have great advice on what to do if a team member is suffering the effects of trauma, how to approach obtaining and carrying weapons in a foreign country when on task, what to do if you’re asked to assist in a hostile termination and how to treat a client who might be suffering from hypothermia. All this and much, much more.

For many, the immediate thought after receiving a Hostile Termination call is to think of how to best escort the potentially violent individual from the premises. But in reality, dealing with Hostile Terminations should begin well before a disgruntled employee is let go, and will continue long after the fact. Read More>
