International security consultant Michael Chandler launches brand new book and online training course

International security consultant and author, Michael Chandler will bring his Technical Surveillance Countermeasures training programme to a wider audience this week as he launches a brand new book and online training programme based on his globally-renowned teachings.

With his counter-surveillance and close protection courses recognised in the most English speaking countries, Chandler is a familiar name in the security industry. The course and book offer a comprehensive introduction to bug sweeping in addition to a wealth of technical and practical instruction.

“Having taught this course all over the UK and the US, I’m delighted to be making it available to all in the form of a new online training program, backed up by the launch of my new book,” says Chandler.

“Not all Bodyguards have bug sweeping expertise but, it’s clear that in today’s landscape, it’s an exceptionally useful tool to have. Most attacks are planned and therefore, a principal is very likely to be monitored in one way or another which is why electronic monitoring or technical surveillance, should be something that a modern day bodyguard is able to detect.”

The new online bug sweeping course makes this vital skill more readily accessible to anyone working in the security industry, regardless of location. The course syllabus covers everything from the history of eavesdropping to vehicle tracking devices, hidden camera detection, legislation, mobile phone monitoring, thermal imagery and standard operating procedures along with practical lessons on bug sweeping.

Both the online course and accompanying book launch this Friday, 22 February. Those registering for an online course will receive a complimentary copy of the book but it’s also available to purchase from Amazon, Barnes & Noble, iBooks, Kindle, Google Books and other book retailers around the world, priced circa £19.99.

The original in-person training sessions are also open for registration, with a series of seminars set to take place in London, Manchester, Accra, Sydney and New York later this year.
