International Terrorism

The first portion looks at International Terrorism and discusses how world events have been affected throughout history. An example was the start of World War I which was basically started by a terrorist assassination. The instructor will provide a list of international terrorist organizations and list nations who are named by the Department of State as being state sponsors.

Domestic Terrorism

The second portion of the class defines Domestic Terrorism. There are also discussions that define various entities such as Right Wing groups, Left Wing groups and Special Interest Groups. There is also a portion of this segment that discusses hate groups, how these groups recruit and their propaganda techniques. In this portion we also look at various symbols that many law enforcement agencies tend to overlook such as the number "88" which is a symbol for the "Heil Hitler". Also addressed in this portion is WMD.

This course is designed to be an onsite presentation. Ideally, it should be in a classroom or auditorium typesetting depending on the number of attendees.

The format for the course is a PowerPoint presentation structured to be an open discussion where students are encouraged to participate with experiences and questions.

The cost is a flat rate for the presentation plus instructor's expenses to be paid at the current per diem rate for your area.

The number of attendees is unlimited and shall be at the hosting locations discretion.
