If you are kidnapped and there's a rescue attempt, do not help the rescue force or attack the captors. When a force comes into a situation, they're looking for violent or nonviolent behavior. They're looking at hands, because hands carry weapons. If you make an aggressive movement, depending on the lighting, you could be seen as being violent toward them. Stop moving and hit the ground. Do exactly as you are told.These and other words of wisdom are presented in an article entitled “What to Do if You are Kidnapped”, which can be accessed at http://www.csoonline.com/article/220722/How_to_Act_If_You_re_Kidnapped. Kidnap Risk Reduction and Response is one of 15 different subjects covered on the postgraduate university-accredited Security Management Stage 3, a strategically-focussed course which takes place in the UK, 10-21 May 2010.
