Self-Initiated Terrorism Presentation
Since June this year Counter Terrorism Police HQ have delivered four MS Teams presentations on Self-Initiated Terrorism to over 850 staff from within the CT network. As part of the feedback, and to increase the awareness and knowledge of S-IT behaviours, CTPHQ are looking to run a couple of presentations focusing on the COM-B model - capability, opportunity and motivation which leads to the behaviour. It will also include a case study to highlight the potential pre-attack indicators.
