Descriptive text

Strategic Operations International delivers specialised training in the lawful application of physical response options for managing aggressive and violent confrontations across diverse international operating environments.

Training addresses interactions with both compliant and non-compliant individuals, with all techniques delivered in accordance with international Use of Force principles, applicable national legislation, and the policies and operational frameworks of the host law enforcement agency.

SOI training is designed to integrate with existing national and regional law enforcement training systems. It does not replace approved country-specific techniques or mandated training frameworks. Instead, it enhances officer capability, judgement, and operational effectiveness under pressure.

For agencies undergoing policy reform, training framework development, or the establishment of specialised units or special operations capabilities, SOI provides bespoke training design and implementation, aligned with local legal requirements, cultural considerations, and operational realities.
