The CI Centre teams with the Hamilton Trading Group (HTG), recognized experts and practitioners of surveillance awareness and counter surveillance, to provide an important course for today's threats.

This five-day seminar is provided in two parts. Part 1 defines the problem of the war and Part 2 provides practical exercises on the street that explores tools that can be used to successfully preempt and respond to terrorism threats and neutralize terrorist networks.

PART 1: Understanding the Roots of the Problem (Day 1-3) given by the CI Centre

To win a war, one must first understand and define the enemy then understand how to fight the enemy. This course explores the questions of who is the enemy, how and why is the enemy fighting the war with the West and what are the strategic and tactical goals of the enemy. The course includes an honest detailed background discussion of Islam and how Islam is used to justify the Militant Jihadist.

PART 2: Responding to the Threat (Days 4 and 5) given by the Hamilton Trading Group (HTG)

This segment of the course has been designed to give attendees some practical detection and protection examples that have served others well in defending organizations, information, buildings, transportation, events and/or people. You will learn how jihadi terrorists have used the internet and other open source material to train themselves in intelligence, counterintelligence and surveillance. 

Attendees will learn how terrorist organizations prepare to visit a targeted city to gather information by casing pre-selected targets, reporting this information to their higher authorities, re-casing the sites they intend to attack, and finally formulating an operational plan in order to succeed.
