The Security and Intelligence Service and “Air Moldova” airline carry on activities for developing and strengthening the partnership in the field of terrorism prevention and counteraction. Therefore, officers of the SIS Anti-Terrorism Centre and “ALFA” Special Task Force organized several training exercises with the aircrew.
The theoretical and practical training included psychological instruction of the crew members, as well as recommendations and strategies for management of crisis situations on the plane. Officers demonstrated to the participants of the course first aid procedures and assessment methods of victim’s condition.
Moreover, participants learned self-defence techniques during simulations of various crisis situations, in order to develop reaction skills for different circumstances. Practical training included unlawful interference on board of an aircraft in flight and counter-terrorist hostage-rescue from a hijacked aircraft, with eventual evacuation of passengers.
One of the priorities of the Security and Intelligence Service in prevention of terrorism and other violent forms of radical extremism is to develop the dialogue with society, as well as organising and ensuring the antiterrorist security training process in public and private sectors.
