Religion is always a powerful and sensitive subject. Human thinking can be dangerous and off track. And it is never easy to tap into, not to mention to chnage the way how people think.

Not to paint a rosy picture, it is interesting to learn that there have been cases of relapse and the mentors have to be mindful not to be influenced by the detainees the other way round.

On planning and groundwork

We all know the importance of plans and developing relationships in peacetime. But unless it's a very well resourced team, most people will be trying to plan while dealing with active incidents.

May need to see how to set aside people or protected blocks of time to study the plans, so that people can switch mindset

To give them the headspace to really examine the plans. red-team to spot gaps, and identify the 'who/what else am I missing'. Community groups, government and non government partners, stakeholders. Then work towards plugging those gaps.

The rehabilitation concept is interesting but likely not something we can do as easily in the U.S.

Useful to think about the plans and training for post-incident recovery, from managing public comms to supporting officers and families of victims, as well as setting aside bandwidth to deal with the day to day incidents even as we do post-incident recovery

Partnerships

2026-06-18 04:03:52 UTC

From the presentations, it became apparent that partnerships and structures set up and maintained during peace time is critical for mission success during crises.

From sgsecure, to RRG, to HCEG, the common thread appears to be working with other partners and stakeholders to upstream, during a crisis, and the "day after". These however are not naturally occurring and requires deliberate actions, attention and resources.

A lot of hard work needs to be consistently put in to ensure alignment of understanding between different units and inter-operability at all levels, but there are significant operational benefits of doing so.

Act First, As We Verify Concurrently

Act fast (based on intial triage) to dominate the scene; use live sense-making to finish the job / fine-tune operational responses

Community participation in early detection of threats and crisis management can make a big difference!
