Every single year, hundreds of thousands of people go missing all over the world. A large percentage of these are often recovered within the first few days and returned safely to their families. However, every year, thousands of innocent people fall victim to the various types of kidnap. Many of these people are taken whilst working overseas, sometimes in high-threat, or austere environments for International NGOs, Charity & Aid Organisations, Oil & Gas Industries, and many other organisations.

About the Anti-Kidnap & Targeting indication Training

Anti-kidnapping & Targeting Indication (AKTI) Training is designed for personnel who are being deployed into Austere or High-Risk Environments. Personnel working for organisations such as the Military, International Non-Government Organisation (NGO), Private Security Companies, Media Organisations, the Commercial Business Sector, Relief Organisation Staff and Expatriates who are living and working in foreign locations may find themselves targeted for kidnap and ransom activities.

Types of Kidnap Victim

Victims of kidnap and ransom across the globe can be profiled and targeted for any varied number of reasons such as their personal wealth/income, nationality, religion, employer or line of work. Kidnap is a tool used frequently to raise funds for illegal activities and to intimidate both foreign and domestic workers in High-Risk Areas (HRA).
