This is especially true for travelers, senior management, and critical personnel, all who may be subject to crimes that target those roles (kidnapping, terror attacks, etc.).
Personnel should be able to convey duress situations in a subtle manner (that is, with code words other than, "I'm under duress") that can be worked into normal communications and can be remembered while the subject is under extreme stress. Duress codes should be able to be conveyed by several methods of communication (verbal and otherwise).
Personnel receiving duress codes should have training and practice in the actions to undertake in those circumstances.
Duress codes should change on a regular basis, but if personnel convey expired codes, a response process should still be initiated.
