Aviation Security  

During September 2008, under the Aviation Security Program, the CICTE Secretariat conducted training programs in four countries. The beneficiary countries were The Bahamas, Dominica, Argentina and Uruguay.

The US Transportation Security Administration facilitated the two training programs in the Caribbean, delivering Crisis Management training in The Bahamas and Advanced Aviation Security training in Dominica. These two training programs were only completed as a consequence of the diligence of the Instructors and the interest of the participants; as the programs took place during the passage of hurricanes Hanna and Ike through the Caribbean region. Notwithstanding the adverse conditions the two programs were conducted safely and successfully.

Argentina and Uruguay were each beneficiaries of a two day “Aviation Security Seminar.” The key topics covered during these seminars were: Passenger Assessment, Behavioral Analysis, Interviewing, Observational Techniques, Impostor Detection and Identification of high risk people. From all accounts these seminars have been deemed as a great accomplishment and highly beneficial to the participants; as such the Secretariat is exploring the possibility of hosting more seminars on these topics in the region.
