RISC Services

AIM: To provide the best value in the range of products and services that we offer, and to respond to the market place in a flexible manner to meet the client needs. To ensure that our training products achieve recognition and accreditation from the UK ACPO National Analysts Working Group.

RISC can provide a range of services covering training, consultancy, and research project work. It is a policy of our company that only experienced practitioners will deliver these services. For example, if you attend one of our accredited 10-day Intelligence Analysis Courses in the UK, you can expect a variety of lecturers to deliver their respective modules, because they are current practitioners in those same modules and they have the most up to date knowledge.

This is quite different to the standard approach of the 'same teacher teaches all' and it reflects our commitment to providing the best for our customers. Accreditation is an important issue for us, because it shows our determination to use this as a minimum benchmark for both ourselves and our customers. The UK ACPO National Analysts Working Group comprises some 30 Principal and Senior Analysts from around the UK, and they dictate what the minimum learning outcomes should be for certain courses, particularly those having a direct relevance to the UK National Intelligence Model. Whilst this arena has a strong emphasis on delivery in the UK, client agencies in other countries see this and understand that we are a provider committed to providing the best, and thereby feel more confident in booking us to deliver at a venue of their choice, and designed to their needs.

RISC also delivers consultancy and research project work for agencies in the public and private sector. For example, our consultants who are highly I.T. literate and who possess expert knowledge in i2 products, can add the extra dimension to the investigative team. Typical client base includes investigative agencies who need somebody with the aforementioned skills to identify the money trail, or gaps and discrepancies, or the system, or the key players involved, or simply to make the whole job easier to understand in graphical format to assist the analysis.

RISC aims to be continually dynamic to stay ahead of the game. For example, our new Multi Agency Problem Solving (MAPS) course already meets the criteria currently being specified by the Home Secretary for CDRP's and CSP's.
