Archangel Group’s consultant, John Giduck, arrived at the Beslan Middle School No. 1 in north Ossetia, Russia, at the conclusion of the battle by Russian Special Forces to retake the school. He spent months investigating all aspects of this attack, including many interviews with Russian Special Forces, government officials, and Beslan townspeople. Archangel presents an 8-hour seminar on the investigation into how the terrorists’ plan was formed, intelligence developed for the assault, defenses deployed, and how ultimately negotiations failed and why—resulting in more than 300 dead in a 10-hour battle. In addition, this seminar covers the government’s plan in handling the crisis, what went wrong, and what went right. Vulnerabilities of U.S. schools to this same type of assault and necessary changes in security to protect our children are presented in detail. Diagrams, video, and never-before-seen photos from Archangel’s representatives are included. Archangel Group was the only American agency that conducted an on-scene investigation of this tragedy as it unfolded. Mr. Giduck’s book,Terror at Beslan: A Russian Tragedy with Lessons for America’s Schools, details the history leading up to this terrorist event, as well as all aspects of the siege.
What is necessary to prepare our schools, school security and law enforcement to be able to prevent, defend against, and successfully respond to a terror attack against our children? Based on the blueprint of terror attacks in Israel, Russia and elsewhere in which hundreds of hostages were taken in drawn-out sieges, including the Beslan School siege in southern Russia, this course presents hard-hitting information on exactly what must be done to prepare—and what the outcome will be if a terror attack occurs.
Attendees will use information from the first two days of the seminar to develop local plans for school violence.
