SSI (Security Solutions International) has selected Miami's Helicenter International Academy as the facility for its Helicopter course in counter-terrorism and emergency preparedness.
Miami, FL (PRWEB) December 2, 2003 -- Captain Gilberto Elias, of Miami's Helicenter International Academy said today that the center would be the first site for SSI courses in the US. "We were selected for this because we are a fully bi-lingual facility that has the infrastructure and experience and already trains
governments in Central and South America. These courses are designed to make law enforcement, government agencies and the private sector better able to deal with possible terrorist incidents. We want to help the country to be ready."
SSI, an international training company that trains, among others, the Nigerian government, represents the Israeli College of Security in the USA. The Israel College of Security, Israel's foremost learning institute for Security Studies, will be devising a special course for helicopter pilots, at different levels, that may need to be ready to handle a terrorist incident.
The College, which is also marketing a host of other courses in the US through SSI, relies on the special experience of Israeli pilots and security personnel, gained in more than 50 years of dealing with terrorist incidents. Some of the courses will deal with suicide bombers, and others are designed for Port and Oil Rig or Ship security as well as corporate security.
A spokesperson at SSI stated that the courses are what are needed to provide US pilots initially, and also other law enforcement, government agency or private industry personnel with the know-how to deal with these situations. "Emergency preparedness makes sense today with the on-going threat of terrorism, organized, violent protest-movements and criminal activities. We are bringing special Israeli know-how to US law enforcement, using US facilities and US trainers. It's a combination that can not be beat."
