The International Strategy and Capabilities (ISC) sits in the International Directorate of the UK Home Office (HO). ISC delivers strategic capability development programmes overseas on behalf of the Home Office and is seeking suitable organisations to develop and prepare Special Forces for Environmental Security Officers to be able to manage and respond to incidents where wildlife, including dangerous animals, are encountered. The course will enable participants to handle wildlife in a safe and controlled manner and enable them to prioritise actions in these situations. There are currently no agreed dates for the courses to be developed but it is expected delivery will commence in Quarter two of 2023.
