Abstract:
In today's complex security landscape, the focus on maintaining a robust military-like discipline among paramilitary and the security forces have overshadowed the traditional roles of having enforced the law through authority institutions. These agencies have been tasked with mitigating various dynamic security threats. Contemporary security perspectives are increasingly shaped by challenges such as terrorism, migration, armed conflicts, and the activities of non-state entities, which are prevalent across nations. The rise in extremism, armed conflicts, insurgencies, civil wars, cyber threats, and actions by non-state actors pose significant challenges, impacting the efficiency and effectiveness of law enforcement bodies. This study employs a descriptive research approach and secondary sources to analyze modern security dynamics and the roles of law enforcement agencies in addressing these challenges. It aims to offer future-oriented strategies for both domestic and international security agencies amidst evolving global security concerns.
