As today's leaders in innovative training for Homeland Security, SSI realized the need for Helicopter pilots to be well-trained. There are no other courses available for Emergency Response/Homeland Security for Helicopter Pilots training. SSI relies on Israel's hard-won experience with helicopters and counter-terrorism in urban settings.

This two-day seminar has been specifically created by Security Solutions International (SSI).

The law enforcement helicopter can provide the momentum required to operate at short notice in a wide variety of operational and tactical scenarios related to Homeland Security and responses to acts of terror. For law enforcement crews, reaching the highest level of operational readiness is essential.

How is a terror incident assessed from the air?If a terror incident occurs, how effective will the communication be between command and crew and between the crew itself? How will effective insertions and extractions of team members in an urban setting be conducted? Will you know how to control the crowd? How is all this done safely in an extremely dangerous environment? What procedures are followed after an incident?

The seminar is not platform-specific. A sample of topics to be discussed includes:

• Operational considerations for all personnel involved in security and assessing the situation from the air
• Preventative tactics - neutralizing security situations at an early stage; Aircrew teams dealing with cases of terrorist attacks
• Integrating the activities of the Helicopter Command and the Air Crew
• Inter-personal communication under conditions of extreme stress
• Air and Ground crews - managing crowds in tense situations
• Getting in and out - safety in the incident zone
• Post event procedures and reporting
