Terrorism remains a constant threat, and first responders and law enforcement need specialised training to prepare for it. Traditional training may not prepare people for the unpredictable nature of an attack.
OPFOR can test personal and team security measures in a controlled training environment and give feedback and recommendations for improvement. Because there is no manual for terrorists, OPFOR role players are trained to think outside the box and set novel, complex challenges. Scenarios can simulate a wide range of terrorist activity, including active shooters and improvised explosive device attacks, and are customised to each client's objectives. The safety of everyone taking part comes first.
What can OPFOR provide?
- Siege or active shooter. A hostage or mass-shooting capability for domestic counter-terrorism response training.
- Maritime terrorism. Piracy-style threats set within New Zealand.
- Anti-terrorism operations. A covert terrorist cell set up within New Zealand for investigators to find.
The team has extensive experience designing and running scenarios that replicate the tactics and techniques terrorists use in real-world attacks, and uses the latest technologies and techniques to make them immersive.
