Essential for the CPO and the knowledge and skills required are developed over the 15 days and this is achieved through a combination of lectures, practical exercises and scenarios based on the common duties of a modern day CPO. The training peaks with an intensive final exercise that combines all the skills and knowledge obtained throughout the duration.

The role of a CPO requires individuals to be fully conversant with the law and to understand the relationships between the CP industry and official agencies. Again this is achieved by classroom discussions, videos and practical scenarios.

This module will introduce you to the concept of surveillance and counter surveillance and is key to protecting clients as most pre-meditated attacks include some form of surveillance. Preventative and proactive measures to detect surveillance are taught and related to real life incidents. There must also be procedures for when things don’t go as planned and the ability to think on your feet will be developed during the course.

Most of the physical skills required by a CPO are covered in this final module such as vehicle embus-debus drills and convoy driving through to foot techniques and searching procedures will be practiced to hone these essential skill.

Designed to be as realistic as possible the day spent on this training will demonstrate the difficulties and realism of extracting a principal under attack.
