British Ambassador to Lebanon Hamish Cowell attended last week the closing ceremony for Lebanese airport security personnel who successfully completed a UK-taxpayer-funded Behavioural Detection Training course at Beirut International Airport.
The training took place over a three-week period, delivered in partnership with the Lebanese Armed Forces, General Security and Internal Security Forces. It aimed to enhance airport safety for all passengers and counter threats such as terrorism, smuggling, and criminal activity. The training also included 18 female officers from General Security and Internal Security Forces.

British Ambassador Hamish Cowell said:
Since its inception in 2018, the UK-taxpayer-funded Behavioural Detection Training programme has provided airport security teams with tactical skills to identify and disrupt potential terrorist threats. The initiative builds on the UK’s longstanding support to Lebanon’s border and airport security institutions. Through this collaboration, the programme has strengthened the capabilities of Lebanese immigration and security personnel in detecting terrorist activity at both border crossings.
