    There is no silver bullet to prevent crime on public transport, but conducting a risk assessment is an excellent way to identify weak points and prioritize investment

    Concept

    Risk Assessment

    Conducting a risk assessment is the logical first step in public transport security. In the context of a European funded project called COUNTERACT, led by UITP, a set of guidelines for conducting risk assessment was developed to meet the specific needs of public transport companies. Participants will learn how to conduct a Security Risk Assessment: in groups, a fictive public transport network is assessed under the guidance of experienced experts.

    Emergency Preparedness & Response

    If you can't avoid it, how can you handle it? Starting from the same fictive network, and following a predefined scenario, the participants will respond to a serious security incident in the form of a table-top exercise. In groups, and under the guidance of experienced experts, the scenario will unfold throughout the course of the session during which the groups must discuss and decide how to react.

    3 reasons to attend

    • Knowledge: practical guidance on conducting a security risk assessment
    • Practice: experience a table-top security exercise
    • Insight: learn from the experiences of others

    Language Policy

    Main sessions and material are in English, however working sessions may be conducted in English, French, German or Spanish (depending on participation).

    The COUNTERACT guidelines have met and are continuing to meet the expectations of the STIB.
