Security Driver Training

The most common cause of injury to personnel and damage to assets continues to be the Road Traffic Accident, and targets, whether they be a High Net Worth Individual or a VVIP, are at their most vulnerable whilst in a car. This is why Longmoor Security advocates the importance of security driver training and has the capability to deliver one of the most highly regarded driving courses in the security industry.

Longmoor's security driver training course is designed around the modern threats from both criminals and terrorists, and contains the most current teaching practices for today's specialist driver. This course continually evolves in response to the changing modus operandi of the individuals or groups that constitute a significant threat to the client.

Security driver training is taught by highly qualified and experienced former UK police and Royal Military Police advanced drivers, the quality of which is demonstrated in that one of the founders of Longmoor Security was instrumental in developing the first Protective Motoring Skills Course for the Royal Military Police's Close Protection Unit and the UK Home Office. The unparalleled standard of security driver training taught by Longmoor Security is testament to some of their clients which include, amongst others, the Australian and Canadian Foreign offices.

In order that the structure and content of the security driver training remains up to date and relevant, Longmoor Security investigates all attacks on VIP vehicles and convoys from around the world and even interviews survivors of the attacks in order to formulate a measured analysis and develop ways to transfer these lessons into the teaching material. This ensures that we maintain the market lead in Advanced Protective Motoring Skills and VIP vehicle procedures for both on and off-road driving.

As well as teaching safe defensive driving techniques and high speed driving, Longmoor's security driver training will cover theory and vehicle dynamics, night driving and anti-ambush techniques, including 'de-bus' drills and 'cross-decking,' ensuring that the security driver trainees are armed with the knowledge to deal with all eventualities.

As with all services which Longmoor Security provides, security driver training courses will be tailored to fit the client's needs, be them of a commercial nature operating in a benign environment, or preparing your drivers for work in hostile environments. Security driver training need not be restricted to the UK, and Longmoor Security has a global reach and has delivered training all over the world, in countries such as Nigeria, India and Pakistan, thus ensuring that the trainees are familiarised with their specific driving environments.

Longmoor security driver training is normally between 3 and 5 days long and is dependent on the client's individual requirements, the experience of the drivers and the assessed threats in the intended area of operations. Longmoor Security also offer a one day security driver training refresher to ensure those already qualified resist skill fade and remain competent and current in the face of today's ever changing threats and procedures.
