Certified Anti-Terrorism Specialist Course - Jakarta - 

June 2015

In June 2015, I was pleased to attend the Chartered International Institute of Security and Crisis Management training in Anti-Terrorism in Jakarta organised by Globale2C.

The trainers were first class and Indonesian presenters from the Indonesian counter-terrorism agencies including senior officers from Det 88, provided first hand experience in the Indonesia's work in countering radicalization and meeting the threat of terrorism head-on.

Chris Phillips provided a holistic overview and excellent guidance on anti-terrorism mitigation strategies, based on his many years of experience in the UK dealing with terrorism and ably supported by Gerard Lee who was graciously allowed to share his knowledge on improvised explosive devices.

I enjoyed the training and speaking with attendees from Indonesia who were most welcoming. 

I am proud to have been assessed as having the required knowledge and skill sets to be Certified as an Anti-Terrorism Specialist.

NT Seniors Month - August 2015 - 'Territorians Talking"

NT Seniors Month - August 2015 - 'Territorians Talking'

​

I was pleased to be able to support the Genealogy Society of the NT by giving two talks during Senior Month, in Darwin. The subject of a soldiers observations and experiences on the Western Front in WW1 brought home the tragedy of war and assisted some attendees understand the behaviour of their grandfathers who did not quite fit in after their return from WW1. It also opened up discussion on the state of soldiers coming home from modern wars.

The second talk on Discovering the man who never was - the genealogist detective was well received and the positive feedback from attendees was most appreciated.
