Risks Incorporated

In August 2016, I completed the Travel Security course presented by Risks Incorporated. For those of you who travel internationally, some type of security training and planning is essential, and I highly recommend training with Risks Incorporated.

I have previously written about foreign travel here in the blog, and for most people having a basic understanding of travel security will be enough to ensure a safe and successful trip. However, in some cases more in-depth training is needed.

DOD personnel traveling overseas are required to receive a travel briefing and comply with the provisions of the DoD Electronic Foreign Clearance Guide. Unfortunately, the travel briefings provided to DOD personnel are often little more than cut and paste from the State Department's web-site and excerpts from the Foreign Clearance Guide itself. My experience with the foreign travel and security briefings I have received from DOD Anti-Terrorism Officers is that such briefings are little better than useless, containing no analysis or area specific research.

Risks Incorporated training however helps you understand the risks that exist in certain parts of the world, and most importantly teaches you how to best avoid, or if necessary confront, these risks. In addition to their training courses, Risks Incorporated offers a series of Free Counter Terrorism, Travel Security & Tactical Training Booklets, that you can download.

Risks Incorporated is a progressive, European - owned and managed bodyguard school and specialist protection company that has proven itself many times on sensitive international operations. They supply corporate investigations, specialist security services, maritime security, executive protection, tactical firearms training, kidnap and ransom, bodyguard services and training worldwide.
