Description:
CRA Inc.'s Shoebox Workshop is a dynamic scenario-based training workshop for homeland security analysts and investigators. CRA's world-class investigators and analysts instruct this course. The course is a combination of intensive briefings on the origins, motives, operational history, and terrorist tradecraft of the al-Qaeda organization and its worldwide associates and immersion in a “live” scenario focused upon the investigation of leads that reveal the inner-workings of an al-Qaeda cell. This scenario is custom-tailored to any group and location, with consideration to critical infrastructure, population, and the regulatory environment. The students are coached by expert criminal investigators in using special techniques to reveal the significance of 13 pieces of evidence left behind by an al-Qaeda surrogate.
