The insider threat, terrorism funding, modern policing tactics against terrorism and public order, and the use of the Taser – these will be the topics under discussion at the forthcoming ASIS UK Spring Seminar in London on 19th March.
Taking the podium will be Chief Superintendent Alex Robertson, Detective Chief Inspector Richard Jack and Detective Constable Michael Rees.
Non-ASIS member are most welcome and registration should be made directly to Jude Awdry.
The event, which is held under Chatham House Rules, provides a unique opportunity to be briefed by front-line police officers and commanders on some very topical issues in terrorism and public order. And there is always time built in for difficult questions from the audience!
The insider threat is an issue which is currently vexing elements of the UK’s Critical National Infrastructure, and the CPNI have posted special guidelines on their web site.
Creeping deployment of the Taser stun gun is attracting controversy, especially in light of recent university research from the US which suggests this device is not as safe as its manufacturers have been claiming.
