Covert Operator Non-Permissive Environment Course

Course Description

The Course is designed using covert british intelligence tradecraft and mechanics, which will allow you to operate, more effectively, in a non-permissive environment, with a reduced risk of compromise and an increased chance of operational success. 

The course is delivered from a "covert" and "plain clothes" platform and is specific to urban / street / town environments. 

We have redefined what constitutes a “hostile environment” and believe that a “non-permissive” environment is a better and more realistic description for the course. It is NOT just the "location" of where you are operating, that makes it "non-permissive", it is the "nature" of your role, the people you are working against and the consequences for you and your team, if captured / caught, that makes it "non-permissive".

Your soft-skills will be tested and your not-so-soft-skills will be expected to show themselves at the appropriate times, which will be for you to decide when that is. We place a lot of emphasis on your ability to think for yourself and deal with a situation in the way that YOU believe it should be dealt with. Your aim will be to remain covert, until that is no longer an option for you or your team ... only YOU will know when it is time to Go Noisy ... no one else can make that decision for you.

No "overt" tactical gear is used during this course, so leave the drop-leg holsters, oakley gloves, 5.11's and gargoyle wrap- arounds at home; jeans, nikes and an old jacket is how we do it on this course.

Course Aim

The overall aim of the course is to provide you with more effective response options when working covertly in a non-permissive environment by promoting a more covert approach to your operational procedures. The course objectives are to provide covert teams with the ability to remain covert whilst working in a non-permissive, urban environment, where operational integrity is key to success. We achieve this by changing the training concept:

• Train "Out" heavy military-type tactics.
• Train "In" soft covert tradecraft and mechanics.

This provides a more multi-dimensional selection of operating procedures and response options, whilst sustaining long-term operational sustainability, capacity, durability and effectiveness.

Course Suitability

The course is specifically designed for individuals and teams who operate in a covert / undercover role:

• Executive Protection Teams.
• Local / State / Federal Law Enforcement Officers / Agencies.
• Covert Military personnel.
• Government Covert Intelligence Agencies.
• Government Covert Intelligence Agency Support Teams.

"... Operating covertly in a small team or as a lone operator, in a non-permissive neighborhood, town or city, changes everything about how you respond to any situation ..." -  Neil M Davis QCVS
