PREDICTIVE PROFILING
THE MOST EFFECTIVE TECHNIQUE FOR CATCHING TERRORISTS AND CRIMINALS
A seminar by Chameleon Associates Pte Ltd
March 8 th – 9 th 2010, The Legends, Fort Canning Park, Singapore
Predictive Profiling is a proprietary security methodology of situation
assessment developed by Chameleon Associates to predict and
categorize the potential for inappropriate, harmful, criminal and/or
terrorist behavior. This methodology leads to the deployment of
procedures and actions necessary to confirm, reduce, neutralize
and/or eliminate such threats.
Predictive Profiling focuses on categorizing terrorists & criminals into
behavioral (situational) profiles as opposed to racial, religious or
ethnic profiles. The use of “mules”, the falsification of identities
and the variety of international and domestic criminal and terrorist
groups in operation, have rendered racial profiling an inefficient
method for threat mitigation. Chameleon’s Predictive Profiling
methodology provides the complete situational profile for a criminal
or terrorist scenario, from the planning of the attack to the
execution, focusing on what terrorists and criminals do, and not who
they are.
