PROGRAM OBJECTIVES:

To train the Security Manager and the working Inspector ("sweeper") with the nature of the eavesdropping threat and the ways that it can be countered. To provide the attendee with information that he can apply to his own situation when designing and maintaining his eavesdropping defense.

Instruction include practical hands-on demonstrations of devices from various manufacturers discussed in the program. The World Institute does not sell equipment or represent any security equipment manufacturers.

PURPOSE:

The purpose of the "Technical Surveillance Counter Measures" program is to train attendees to ensure that they can apply a standard level of adequate and timely Security Policies and Procedures within Technical Surveillance Counter Measure environments.

METHOD OF PRESENTATION:

The subject is presented in a series of lectures, demonstrations & practical exercises that include the following:

Eavesdropping Techniques:
Methods of Detecting or Defeating Them

The eavesdropper's methods of physically penetrating his target are described as are his methods of concealing his eavesdropping devices.

The Tools Of The TSCM Inspector

Detailed descriptions of the detection devices used by the TSCM inspector in conducting his inspections are accompanied by demonstrations that display their effectiveness.

Strategy & Tactics For TSCM Inspection

The tactics to be used in conducting a TSCM inspection in ways that are most likely to deceive the eavesdropper are described. The use of a check list in that process to organize a sweep team's activities for maximum efficiency is included.

Dealing With Contingencies

The features of a contingency plan to be used at the time that the eavesdropping activity is detected is described. A detailed check list of the things to be considered at the time of a discovery is included in this presentation.

Design Features of Secure Areas

Whether a special secure room is to be constructed or an existing room is to be made secure, this program is useful in illustrating the points of vulnerability that may be exploited by a professional eavesdropper. The ways that the vulnerabilities can be reduced are described.

PRACTICAL EXERCISES:

This five day training program is provided at the World Institute for Security Enhancement training sites in Miami Lakes, Florida and Moyock, North Carolina. Familiarization of various equipment types and established procedures are promoted and demonstrated throughout the training process. The applications & techniques of a professional sweep are stressed in our hands on approach. This ensures that every participant gains the information necessary to conduct a basic TSCM inspection in the field.

To assist in the acquisition of TSCM Physical Search hand tools, a metal equipment case with tool pallet insert is provided for each class participant. 

CONTINUING EDUCATION UNITS (CEU):

Continuing Education Units (CEU's) are nationally recognized units in qualified programs which allow the participant to document all non credited work completed. CEU's may be used as evidence of increased performance capabilities and for job advancement, and are recognized by many professional organizations and companies.

 

CERTIFIED PROTECTION PROFESSIONAL (CPP) RECERTIFICATION:

Documentation of attendance at these programs may be submitted to the ASIS Professional Certification Board for consideration of recertification credit by qualified Certified Protection Professionals.
