Search training

[K9medic]

If I have posted this in the wrong place, apologies. I attended a search course with Roger Ings (I can recommend his course to anyone) a few years ago, and want to brush up on this subject. Unfortunately Roger doesn’t have any “open courses” running in the foreseeable future. Can any board members recommend a company providing search training aimed at the security market?

What kind of search training are you looking for K9. Is it the searcing of people, land or buildings?

The last course I took we covered buildings, grounds and vehicles. It was aimed at uniformed security working in a controlled environment such as a residency or office. In the dim and distant past I also got a few sessions on searching people.
I basically want a brush up on the buildings etc and to be honest more in depth on people, figure if you’re in a situation where you’re checking people you need a paper trail just to cover your own back from litigation.
Not it to the idea of defusing a bomb with my trust Leatherman and a hair clip, just want to brush up on search procedures and actions on a find.

I'm back in work on Tuesday and will ask about then for you. Searching people is no problem at all. I'll check on the rest and report back

I would also be very interested in this.

No problem, may be able to get a day course put together if anyone is interested. We search people all the time and may be of benefit to some. Would include legislation, searching, health and safety etc. Anyone interested?

What type of searching are you talking about, on entry to a premisis ? or random stop and search on a site?

Is this not covered in standard CP courses? Is it not part of sia criteria?

It is the ABC's and should definitely be a part of any CP course.

I have never heard of dedicated courses for this, here, all security courses have this, even a 5 day guarding course.

My apologies gentlemen I may have miswrote my initial post. I have in the past completed search training courses. Yes I believe they are part of the sia criteria. However I have neither the time nor the money to attend a Close Protection course at the moment, I merely want to refresh my knowledge of search techniques. I like to refresh all my skills on regular bases and as its a few years since I last attended a search course I intend to brush up that skill next.
