Introduction
Today’s world is one of global terrorism and intercontinental terrorists. Their attacks, whether carried out in Bali, Iraq or Spain demonstrates a stark reality. Much of the operational methodology and many of the tactics they employ were developed in the Middle East. It is accurate to say that of the range of potential types of terrorist attacks facing the American Homeland, the vast majority were developed, tested and perfected in Israel. Consequently, no one has more relevant and real time experience preventing, combating and containing terrorism than do the Israelis. SSTS is a consultancy created specifically to provide the American Law Enforcement, Military and Security Community an opportunity to benefit from the experience gained and expertise developed by Israel in fighting terrorism during the last two decades. SSTS courses can be adapted to any county's needs to fight and contain terrorism in all forms. SSTS course offerings are taught from the multi-dimensional perspectives Danny possesses from being an operator and a former police commander. All courses are refined, the products of having been taught many times, to military and police special operations units. Each course is designed to fulfill twin needs. First is the requirement of training to technical proficiency. The second, typically Israeli, is developing the ability and confidence for independent and correct decision-making under pressure, within both the individual and the unit. SSTS courses are also designed to educate at multiple levels, from command planning to individual team member operational execution. SSTS courses are taught exclusively by Danny Sharon assuring an unparallel quality of instruction. Occasionally because of class size or because of the specialized nature of the subject of a course itself, courses may require additional educational staff. When additional instructors are used they are exclusively graduates of IDF and Israeli security service elite anti-terror and special operations units.

3.8 - Bomb Threat Planning and Management (1 -1.5 days course) Bombings, attempted bombings and bomb threats can cause extreme disruption, fear, and even panic in organizations whose personnel are not trained to handle such situations. Inappropriate and costly management decisions are often made due to a lack of organizational planning and a methodology for handling bomb threats, suspicious packages, and actual devices.

the news in very dangerous conditions. The volatile areas from the Middle East to Afghanistan and Pakistan have brought the need to protect the media operating in these areas. The media are unprotected, unarmed and are vulnerable to the attacks of suicide bombers and radical terrorist groups that are part of daily life. These groups terrorize the local populations and the coalition troops of the western nations policing the danger zones such as Iraq and Afghanistan. A 2 day course was developed to examine the ways that the media can be protected to a certain level of safety, while operating in such areas.
3.12 - Intelligence and Body Language (1.5 to 5 days course) This seminar will be broken down into two subjects: intelligence and body language.

3.14 - Border Control (1 day course) The state of Israel has always taken pride in it’s way of dealing with border control having being surrounded on all sides by vengeful Arab States and Terror Organizations seeking it’s destruction by any means possible whether by infiltrations over the borders or general wars, armies against armies. Since Peace accords were signed by Egypt and Jordan in recent years most of Israel’s Borders with the former are generally quiet and enjoying trade and peace with its neighbors, other than criminal and terrorist elements involved in cross border terrorism, drug smuggling and other criminal activities. The instructor will show the audience how to contain illegal criminal traffic and terrorists from penetrating its borders, and to contain it to a minimum.
3.15 - Airport Security (1-2 days course) The goal of this seminar is to teach law enforcement and security personnel how to identify terrorist threats, in an airport environment, before they are carried out.

3.16 - Hotel Security Awareness and Prevention Course (1 day course) There are two major problems facing hotel security managers today, one is criminal and the other is terrorism, both are major headaches for hotel management wanting to attract tourism, and to safeguard hotel guests. There are other security matters that have to be taken into consideration, such as guest safety, fire prevention and emergency planning in case of a serious incident developing, such as a fire, earthquake, flooding or any life threatening situation, that may not be linked to any of the above mentioned subjects.
3.17 - Security Awareness Course at Places of Worship (1 day course) The course is targeted to police, private security companies, churches, synagogues and all places of worship as one.In contrast to other security awareness courses, this is a course which has a slight difference, in the concept that there are two bodies involved at any particular location, whether it be a church, synagogue or a minority temple. 6
The two main bodies involved are the security companies that employ guards and the place of worship, where the congregations have to appoint security wardens alongside a security guard to identify the local congregation and to deter strangers from entering the building unchecked. The role of the security warden is purely voluntary and is not intended to replace the guard's role in the prevention of terrorism or violence against the place of worship. The warden is there to assist in identifying the congregations of the various denominations at risk. All Western religions, especially Christianity and minority religions are at risk from Islamic Radical Terrorism.
3.18 - Shopping Mall Security Prevention and Awareness Course (1day course) The course is targeted to a specific audience of police and security as one entity, to work together in preventive security to be able to identify threats before they become realities.

The presenter will show how all of these tragedies can be prevented by the use of the sixth sense "Body Language" in threat identification. The presenter will show ' Israeli Methodology' in countering such threats. 3.20- Refinery and Petrochemical Installation Preventive Security (1to 5 day course) The course is designed to meet the modern day threat of mega terrorism occurring at a major plant installation where a terror attack on a refinery/petrochemical plant, could have disastrous results and loss of lives on a scale unimaginable. The instructors will introduce "Israeli Preventive Security Methodology" as a model that can be copied into security preventive manuals in the protection of sensitive installations. The instructor will show the worlds tightest security measures in operation today to prevent terrorism and contain it to a minimum.
3.21-Who is the Shahid? (Islamic Martyr) (1 day course) The course is targeted mainly to intelligence officers and evaluators and gives a detailed examination of the motivation and recruitment of the Suicide Terrorist. The instructor will show the steps of recruitment of the candidate for a suicide mission, indoctrination process, economic status, right up to the planning and execution of the suicide mission. 3.22-Rail Transit Security (1 day course) The course is designed and targeted to an audience of police and transport security officials that have to deal with a day to day threat of mega terror on the railway systems. It will examine the problems of transporting dangerous substances and chemicals via the rail systems of any country. The instructor will show the vulnerability of the railway systems to terror attacks, how easy it is to attack a passenger train like in the 'Madrid Bombings in 2004', and the suicide bombings on the 'London Underground Metro Systems in 2005', where there was no security to prevent such outrageous attacks. The instructor will show the complacency of the police and security that is still in existence today, and will show how to prevent this kind of event occurring again. 3.23-Security Logistics (1 day course) The course is designed to show an audience of security managers, police, and undercover agents what is needed in equipment, manpower, training, to counter terrorism at all kinds of locations, whether it maybe a top security installation, airport, seaport, campus, shopping mall, entertainment centre, or any building that is of interest to a terrorist group. The instructor will show what is needed in logistics to minimise the threat of terrorism.
