HSM Training and Consultancy is a UK company providing a broad range of SPECIALIZED services, on a global basis, to law enforcement, intelligence agencies and the private sector.
Take some time to explore our website and you will see the extensive range of services we provide to help your agency or business.
Our 'blog' is regularly updated with interesting articles, emerging best practice and commentary. You will find lots of good practice tips.
The 'publications and resources' pages provide details of our books and how to get your hands on them and a lot of free articles you may find useful in adding to your knowledge. We are constantly updating these pages so be sure and check back for more.
Our 'solutions' pages provide details of what we can do to help you and your agency in your functions. We have two sections. One is aimed at the law enforcement and intelligence communities and the other is aimed at the private sector. If you don’t find what you are looking for in one, take a look at what is available in the other. Remember we are here to cater for how you see the world not how we see it.
HOW MUCH WILL IT COST?
We deliver training on an international basis. Not everyone has the same financial resources so we do not quote prices here. We prefer to talk to an agency and design a course that fits them and their budget. When it comes to agencies in the western world our training will work out better value than you can deliver it, in house. It will also be better quality. This is our full time job. We are experts.
In countries with less resources talk to us and we see will see what we can do. Crime and terrorism work on a transnational basis so developing countries need good training and we like to see the world! To discuss costs email us at info@hsmtraining.com or call us on +44 7739 370 969 - you won’t get a high pressure sales pitch - it’s not what we are about.
Working with the wider law enforcement community we ensure that lessons learned by colleagues, are shared and experience developed for the benefit of all.
WHAT MAKES Our Company DIFFERENT FROM OTHER TRAINING PROVIDERS?
The ethos of HSM Training is to provide the best possible bespoke training to our customers. We care about them and we care about the job they are trying to do. By keeping our overheads low and spending a significant amount of time researching, developing, and documenting emerging best practices we can provide the highest quality training within budgets that agencies can afford. Everything we teach will be thoroughly researched from an academic perspective, and will be delivered to the highest professional standards.
WHAT MAKES OUR TRAINING DIFFERENT?
Training needs to be delivered in a way that meets both the strategic needs of the agency and the tactical needs of practitioners. Our training is delivered by experienced trainers who have through knowledge of both strategic and tactical concerns. When it comes to practical training we use 'Predicted Task Learning'™ a training technique designed to give practitioners the opportunity to deal with ‘real life’ scenarios within a safe learning environment. We pride ourselves in making our training engaging. As one of our customers commented – 'It was delivered with humour and humanity'
Value - added. There is only so much one can fit into a training course. That is why we provide text books to our students. This means that they gain more from the course and have a reference resource to take home with them.
Consultancy
HSM Training and consultancy provide a wide range of solutions that can assist your agency. Our expertise enables us not only to help you out with when problem is present but to do it more rapidly and effectively than attempting to address the problem “in house”. This not only provides you better options but saves you money in the process. We have had the benefit of working in many different places with many different agencies who have faced the same issues as you are encountering. Let our experience work for you.
If you have you have an issue contact as and we will see if we can help. Better still, speak to us before you have an issue, as prevention is often cheaper than a cure. The following are some of the consultancy services we offer:
Independent Audit: We can provide comprehensive audits of your intelligence management structures including all your structures for managing covert and undercover operations. We can also audit individual cases or operations. What you get from us is an independent view of what has happened. We will treat all your material with the highest levels of confidentiality and can report in either verbally or in writing.
Policy and procedures: Every agency needs these two things but they are often difficult to get right. We can audit yours for content and effectiveness or if you want we can write new and better ones for you.
Advice and guidance: Sometimes all it takes is a bit of insight or ‘out of the box’ thinking. If something is concerning you about any of the business areas discussed above drop us an email and we will get back to you. We have the expertise. We got it because others shared with us. It does no harm to ask.
Expert Testimony: If you require expert testimony relating to any aspect of human source management, intelligence management, or risk management in covert operations, we can provide this.
