ECAC Behaviour Detection Study Group advances mentoring and develops new security guidelines

Amsterdam/videoconference, 5-6 June 2024 — Progress in providing mentoring on behaviour detection to three ECAC Member States in 2024 was discussed at the recent meeting of the Behaviour Detection Study Group, held in Amsterdam at the beginning of June.

The group aims to finalise new guidelines for mentoring in behaviour detection by the end of this summer to improve the ECAC mentoring process.
Additionally, the group reviewed progress on developing two new documents for the ECAC Aviation Security Handbook: guidelines for red teaming in the field of behaviour detection, and guidelines for effective interviewing and the role of the interviewer in behaviour detection. Both drafts will be finalised at the group’s next meeting in September 2024.

Participants also agreed to organise a research and development workshop on innovations in behaviour detection training and recruitment in 2025, with the exact dates and venue to be confirmed at the next meeting.
