SECURITY, COUNTER-TERRORISM AND SPECIAL SERVICES TRAINING
FOR GOVERNMENTS
Since the infamous day known as “9-11” the concept known
as security has taken on a new importance, and indeed, a new
meaning.
Heretofore, security
involved the implementation of a protective system whereby no one
would attempt to penetrate it because the risk of being caught was
too high or even inevitable. Now, with the emergence of
suicide bombers, the risk of being caught is no longer a deterrent
because the risk of being caught is not a consideration. Since
the attacker expects to be killed while committing his act,
protective systems must be enhanced to take this into
consideration.
BORDER
SECURITY
No country can make
their borders impenetrable. The most a government can hope to
do is implement a system that increases the likelihood of detection
of unwelcome objects and people. This system will usually have
three levels of defense:
a) Forewarning,
i.e., security service operations, notification from foreign allies,
etc.
b) Point of
Protection, i.e., security systems set up at the border
c) Detection
within the country but before a crime or unfriendly act
occurs.
Although the threat
of terrorism has taken centre stage in the 21st Century,
a government must also protect itself from many other unwelcome
objects and people, i.e., drugs, contraband, illegal aliens, weapons
and enemy agents.
The term “Border
Security” may involve many specializations, for example:
International
Police College of Canada is equipped
with the human resources to provide both consultation and training
relating to border security and its many subdivisions.
IPCC
understands that not all governments
have the financial resources to install and implement the latest
technical equipment to enhance its security. In most cases, a
country can only do its best to ensure its physical integrity.
The first and most important step in implementing an efficient, or
at least adequate, security system is to ensure that the persons
responsible for the system are properly trained.
