Hostage negotiation

• HOSTAGE NEGOTIATION in urban, criminal and terrorist settings

Two full-immersion days addressing hostage negotiation in urban, criminal and terrorist settings. A practical, operational course whose purpose is to teach, through new applied methods, how to behave in the event of a kidnapping and how to manage its stages.

This is the only course in Italy on strategic negotiation applied specifically to possible terrorist attacks that may take place in settings crowded with people, such as theatres, supermarkets, railway stations, ferry terminals, etc…as well as hostage-taking in barricade situations and hostage-taking carried out by people who are not criminals.

The course is taught by staff who already lecture on the subject at international level.
