Boost your Security with Behavioural Detection Early Intervention (BDEI) Training
Behavioural detection and early intervention (BDEI) training will educate personnel about baselining and the behavioural idiosyncrasies of themselves and others. The aim is to enable persons working within front line and customer facing role to better understand and adapt into their operating environment, enable them to maximise their interactions with others to give them a greater ability to detect hostile intentions, and develops confidence and capability to detect threat and correctly act on it to disrupt hostile activity. An advantage of this training is to teach personnel to better operate under duress and stress by developing confidence in their expertise and capabilities and teaching them to master their operating environment.
Key Benefits of Behavioural Detection Early Intervention BDEI Training

Heightened Awareness of Threat Actors
BDEI training enhances the ability to spot potential threat actors early on. By understanding behavioural cues you can detect suspicious individuals or activities long before they become major security concerns. With this knowledge, personnel can act swiftly to prevent threats from materialising.

Understanding Vulnerabilities in the Workplace
People trained in BDEI have a heightened awareness of their workplace’s vulnerabilities. By understanding the areas where potential threats are most likely to manifest, they can take steps to improve security measures and reduce risks.

Improved Interactions with Others
BDEI training is not only about threat detection; it's also about building positive relationships within the workplace. By understanding the behavioural patterns of other you can enhance communication, reduce conflict, and create a safer, more inclusive environment.

Enhanced Ability to Intervene Early
With BDEI, personnel are taught how to detect and address concerning behaviour early, preventing escalation. This capability to intervene before hostile actions develop is a key benefit in reducing workplace violence and improving safety.

Building Confidence Under Pressure
Security personnel often work under high stress and in challenging environments. BDEI training builds the confidence necessary to make sound decisions under pressure. By practising how to identify threats and respond effectively, staff develop the skills needed to handle even the most stressful situations.
Despite the benefits of Behavioural Detection Early Intervention BDEI, we understand that time constraints can pose a challenge. Traditional courses are often lengthy, taking several days to complete, which might not be feasible for busy teams.
