"As a Chief Officer of Police, both in the United Kingdom and Western Africa, I have always valued training programmes which are interactive, realistic and experience-based as they are proven to produce the best results.
Training alongside Red Centre Instructors will allow you to discover the reality of the problems you face and to explore the appropriate skills and methods of operation which will increase the safety of those you protect.
Together we will train and mentor all levels, from personnel who may be at risk to the officers and Executive Command levels that will have to make the decisions.
Our team experience includes the Olympic Games and the Commonwealth Security Project in Sierra Leone - experience which is unique, unrivalled and available to you.
Our Advanced Negotiator Training Course, which includes Kidnap response, is the only one of its kind in the World.
Red Centre Associates have proven ability and international experience in crisis situations and will provide guaranteed quality training within bespoke programmes which are tailored to your needs.
This team has my full support and confidence, which is why I have joined them."

"The Red Centre team deliver just what is needed to bring people's awareness into focus in the world around them.
We can all be vulnerable at times, no one can afford to say, "It will never happen to me". I know from my own experience that I could have been more aware of my vulnerability.
There is no better training than that which is based on experience which is why I am pleased to work with the Red Centre team for your protection"
