12 000 to 15 000 People Held Captive Every Year

Are you aware that up to 2,000 people around the world are
currently being held against their will in one form or another?
Or that somewhere between 12,000 and 15,000 people a year are
kidnapped for ransom or held hostage? The fact is, risk is ever
present whoever and wherever you are, and being prepared to deal
with a situation like detainment, kidnapping or surviving
captivity can never be a bad thing. Luckily, there are
organisations that provide training for these eventualities and
today we chat with a course instructor from the adverse
environments team at Panoptic Solutions about the kinds of
strategies he recommends.

(where you’re a detainee).
