EUROPEAN CIVIL AVIATION CONFERENCE - CONFÉRENCE EUROPÉENNE DE L'AVIATION CIVILE

New training document on behaviour detection

Paris/online, 13-14 October 2022 — The ECAC Behaviour Detection Study Group developed a new document linking the online training methodology for behaviour detection and the model training programme for behaviour detection officers, at its 33rd meeting, hosted by the French Directorate General of Civil Aviation. This document is due to be finalised by mid-November 2022. New guidelines defining different levels of mentoring in behaviour detection will also be finalised in November 2022.

The group also reviewed progress on the tasks in its 2022 work programme and considered its priorities for 2023. They decided to organise a research and development workshop in September 2023, to update the existing Aviation Security Handbook document on behaviour detection in aviation security, and to develop new documents on red teaming in behaviour detection, and the effectiveness of behaviour detection programmes.
