PRINCIPLES OF PROTECTION

Principles of Protection consists of the 500 page ESI VIP Protection Manual or CD Rom in Acrobat Format written by ESI staff. It is this ESI VIP Protection Manual that became the foundation of the widely respected published book by Martha Braunig, The New Executive Protection Bible. Also included in this course is The Protection Agent in the Corporate World This course will cover both High Profile Protective Details as well as its opposite Low Profile Covert Security. The course will cover all aspects of advance work, follow-up and limousine procedures, deployment of personnel and the organization of a team detail, working the protectee, and protective hardware. High Profile Protection Details concepts are taken from Secret Service methods and former Secret Service Agents who have operationalized these concepts in private practice. The course covers personal protection services, including dignitary, celebrity and single person protection details.

STALKING AND DANGEROUS HUMAN BEHAVIOR

For a number of years, ESI has emphasized the importance of Stalkers in the personal protective operations in both the Resident Training and this course. Indeed, included a weeklong Stalker Problem in the Resident Training that challenges the countersurveillance skills of the students. Over the years, we have demonstrated to students the critical importance of the Protection Specialist identifying Behavioral Clues to Dangerousness and the ability to identify the discreet behavior of the Stalker in a crowd. ESI has accumulated film clips of numerous assassinations and failed attempts: Hinckleys shooting of President Reagan, Bremer's shooting of George Wallace, attempt to shoot President Park of Korea, and the attempt to kill President Ozal of Turkey, the assassination of the Prime Minister of Israel, Yitzhak Rabin, the slashing attack on President Marcos's wife in the Philippines, even the embarrassing Pie-Attack on Microsoft Founder, Bill Gates, all have important lessons to teach.

These historic events captured by the ubiquitous video camera, teach us that each of these targets were the victim of stalkers and that this behavior is observable and identifiable. It is ESI's point of view that the behavior is also "predictable" within a certain range of certainty that equip the Protection Specialist with a forewarning. The goal of this course is to teach students how to analyze the threat of a stalker, predict "dangerousness," and develop a response strategy. LESSON INSTRUCTION: The Stalker Pathology

COUNTER INSURGENCY THEORY & TACTICS

This Course collates the most recent military and civilian assessment of Counter Insurgent Warfare. Beginning with renowned military theorist, William Lind and recent military manuals, it is supposed that we cannot fight a war that we don't understand. While some civilian and military strategists believed the two contemporary wars are against state armed or supported forces, others believe these conflicts are fought as "asymmetrical" or low intensity operations. This CD manual re-publishes several landmark articles that first reported the existence of holding camps known as "Black Sites", which are interment networks that the CIA utilizes as a central element of its unconventional war against Al Qaeda cells. Casting off the normal insignias of modern armies, Al Qaeda wear no uniform, swear no allegiance to any state other than their "Calling" and there is no state to negotiate a truce or armistice. To cope with the asymmetrical nature of the international terrorist campaign, the Pentagon and the Central Intelligence Agency created a multi-service elite unit to globally stalk and capture Jihadicells. This course initiates the student into the nature of counter insurgency theory and tactics in order to enhance their understanding of the conflict of our times and generation.

INSURGENCY THEORY & TACTICS

This CD Manual begins with two mini-manuals; the first is a text by one of the rising ideological leaders of Al Qaeda, Abu Naji (a pseudonym), who wrote a strategic and tactical training manual called, The Management of Savagery. This text is the Al Qaeda playbook on how to create and manage global chaos to bring down western powers and governments that support the West. It is an extraordinary document that was recently translated by William McCants, a Fellow at West Point's Combating Terrorism Center. The second Al Qaeda Manual is a document discovered in Al Qaeda safe house that expounds on the principles on military organization of terrorist cells. This book provides specific instructions on terrorist operations, including kidnapping and assassination, the use of explosives to disrupt and disable the economic fabric of enemy states. The manual gives its Jihadi members instruction on how to finance their cell operations on a global scale by counterfeiting, forgeries and kidnapping. It expounds on the military training and weapons, communications, transportation, espionage and Special Tactical Operations as a strategy of forcing governments to disperse military and financial resources. Understand the enemy and you will understand how to fight them. The third document consists of U.S. military anti-terrorism manuals. The first is a collection of case studies of terrorist assaults in Tokyo subway, the Federal building in Oklahoma City, the Khobar Towers and the Cole bombings. The second is a Military Guide to Terrorism in the 21st Century, which was prepared under the direction of the U.S. Army Training and Doctrine Command. These handbooks support operational missions in the global war on terrorism.

INSURGENT EXPLOSIVE DEVICES, IEDs & VIEDs - Iraq and Afghanistan

This course consist of a careful collection of documents from government agencies and private sources that analyze a wide variety of terrorist deployment of improvised explosive devices. ATF documents the application of VBIEDs and IEDs by Al Qaeda worldwide, their targets of attack and the means of delivery. The course discusses the wide spread use of shaped charges and land mines by Al Qaeda and

Insurgents in Iraq that account for more than 50% of American troop fatalities. The course covers the wide spread use of suicide bombers, their motivations, recruitment and sacrificial suicide. In addition, the course examines Al Qaeda ideology of self-sacrifice, case studies and discusses profiling of suicide bombers used by experts in the field. The Bomb Countermeasures course was written and produced by Craig Gundry of Palladium Media Group for security professionals. This comprehensive CD Rom examines the status of explosive attacks, case studies and the history of use of munitions against political targets from the time of religious sectarian conspiracy in 1600 A.D. to bomb the British Parliament to contemporary terrorist attacks of 80's and 90's. Gundry reviews military ordnances as well as improvised explosive devices, the different types of munitions and initiating systems. A major portion of the course is devoted to teaching a student how to conduct Risk Assessment in a corporate environment, team operations in each element of security planning, Prevention, Detection, Response to Threat, Mitigation, Response to Detonation, and development of a countermeasures policy. Finally, the course examines issues of defenses against courier bombers and VBIEDs, Search & Identification, Mail Bombs, Weapons of Mass Destruction and Building Design.

PSD PROTECTIVE OPERATIONS

This course begins with the Bureau of Diplomatic Security Protocols for protective operations. The document begins with an analysis of assassinations and terrorist methods of operation. The BDS specifies the purpose and duties of Protection Agents who work WPPS details. The manual covers Protective Detail Organization, Principal Interview, Team & Staff Interaction, Team and Motorcade Formations, Operational Security and Counter Terrorist Driving. Attached to the State Department Protocols are a collection of recommendations from protective detail veterans who served in Iraq on issues of gear and equipment, survival tips and a sample advance written by an ESI graduate who is stationed in Saudi Arabia.

FIELD INTELLIGENCE FOR PSD PROTECTIVE OPERATIONS

This course contains four manuals: Human Intelligence Collection and Analysis, Deception Detection, Interviews and Interrogations, and Cross Cultural Communication. Jack Mc George PhD., former Secret Service Agent and an ESI teacher, wrote the Human Intelligence manual. Until his recent death in 2009, Jack taught at ESI for 25 years. Jack wrote this manual for a foreign government intelligence service, and ESI for distribution in our Distance Ed curriculum. We digitized this version and sanitized the original. We integrated the course into the program, and added three other manuals that are invaluable for investigators working in the field. Two of the manuals focus on ferreting truth from subjects being interrogated based on detecting clues of deception in verbal and non-verbal communication, while the third takes into consideration cultural factors.

OPERATIONAL INTELLIGENCE

While Field Intelligence is principally focused on the collection process, Operational Intelligence is devoted to the analytical component of intelligence. This manual is dedicated to criminal and terrorist network analysis; however, the analytical model can be applied to any information rich data, including free market competitive intelligence. The introduction begins with recent historical examples of the use of a wide variety of intelligence sources: electronic, signal, human sources and network analysis to track down leaders of the insurgency in Iraq, Zarqawi and Saddam Hussein and their global web of cells. The first manual introduces the student into the process of analysis, the tools of the trade and methodology. Link or Association Analysis is taught in simple language and demonstrates the technique of using Link Analysis model as to demonstrate the relationship between people, organizations, governments and objects. The student will learn how to use the information collection process to chart relationships and draw inferences from the facts as they emerge in the association process. Manual two is a workbook to give the student confidence to apply the technique to almost any type of problem.
