The government is employing a new approach in enhancing security and pre-empting crime, a tactic that is bearing fruit considering reduced incidents of terror attacks and general sense of security in the country.

In the approach, the national government is working with its county counterparts to utilise what are now referred to as Regional and County Security and Intelligence Committees (RSICs/CSICs). RSIC/CSICs were established to coordinate security operations and intelligence gathering, are a multi-agency collaboration that brings together diverse expertise to create effective security strategies. The committees, chaired by the respective regional or county commissioner and supported by the regional or county intelligence coordinator, serve as the backbone of local security management.
