JESIP Operational Staff — 1-Day CPD Workshop
Turn principles into practice—and protect yourself when it’s your decisions under the microscope.
This condensed, 6-hour course arms operational responders with the habits, language and audit trail that stand up in real incidents and the witness box.
Who should attend
- Police, Fire & Rescue and Ambulance operational crews
- Local Resilience Forum members, Category 1/2 duty-holders
- Security & safety teams expected to plug seamlessly into blue-light command
Why it matters
Post-incident inquiries—from Manchester Arena to Grenfell—have hammered individuals who “thought they were covered” but failed to follow JESIP in the heat of the moment. Evidence shows that clear records, shared situational awareness, and disciplined communication are the best defence against criticism, disciplinary action or prosecution.
What you’ll master
- Five Principles under pressure – Co-Locate, Communicate, Co-ordinate, Jointly Understand Risk, Shared Situational Awareness
- M/ETHANE that lands first time – complete, concise, < 60 seconds
- Joint Decision Model – make and record defensible choices in a fog of data
- Tactics ↔ strategy hand-off – slot straight into Bronze/Silver/Gold without friction
- Accountability & audit-trail – structure notes, logs and voice traffic so they hold up at an inquest, public inquiry or criminal investigation
- Debrief discipline – capture lessons, feed JOL Online, close the loop
Course format
Focused briefs → small-team problem sets → table-top incident with live injects → hot & cold debrief. 20-delegate cap so every participant is on the hook.
Certification issued on passing observed exercise and short written test (80 % threshold).

Building shared situational awareness is vital to ensure that the emergency response agencies can deliver an effective response to an incident.
The training delivered by CounterTerraRisk Solutions will help ensure that your organisation or venue can respond effectively which can save lives and reduce harm. This will help your organisation or venue recover more rapidly, promoting confidence in your brand.
Spot the drone, stop the threat, stay within the law.
This intensive, 6-hour course shows security teams how to detect, assess and frustrate hostile drones without crossing the legal line that ends up shredded in court.
Who should attend
- Security managers and control-room supervisors
- Police support units & public-space CCTV teams
- Major-event planners, stadium and transport-hub operators
- Critical-infrastructure duty-holders (energy, water, data centres)
Why it matters
Drones now turn up armed with cameras, smuggled payloads or worse. Get the response wrong and you won’t just lose airspace—you could face Health & Safety prosecution, CAA enforcement or a painful grilling at an inquest. This workshop builds a defendable plan before that happens.
What you’ll master
- Threat picture in plain English – rotary, fixed-wing, FPV and hybrid platforms; likely attack vectors.
- Legal red lines – Air Navigation Order, Investigatory Powers Act, interference offences; what you can and cannot do as a civilian.
- Detection & tracking choices – RF, radar, optical, acoustic: strengths, blind spots.
- Positive identification & evidence – capture the footage, log the metadata, secure the chain of custody.
- Defeat options that stand up later – signal disruption, GNSS spoof, kinetic intercepts; when each is proportionate, when it’s a criminal offence.
- Decision-making under pressure – a rapid command matrix you can justify to investigators, coroners and the press.
Keeping you out of trouble
We drill every scenario with real-time logs and decision notes so you leave with an audit trail template. Use it and you can show an inquiry exactly why your actions were necessary, proportionate and within the law.
Course format
- Intensive technical + tactical modules delivered in person
- Threat Tech Deep-Dive – drone platforms, payloads, RF signatures and sensor stacks.
- Legal & Policy Drill-Down – precise dos and don’ts under UK law.
- Tactics in Practice – real-world case studies (Gatwick 2018, Madrid 2024, Kyiv power-station strikes)
- Actionable After-Action – hot and cold debriefs; build your audit-trail template.
