The Role of Diplomacy in Security Operations By Dr. Mark D. Yates The British American Security Expe
The Role of Diplomacy in Security. My name is Dr. Mark D. Yates known by the world’s press as The British American Security Expert and I am a security consultant at www.asecurityonestopshop.com. My speciality is dignitary VIP close protection operations, counter terrorism, SWAT operations, security consultancy and security training. I am contracted by various UK and overseas reporters for security my views related security measures. As a security consultant, I will always recommend to have a lateral view for combating crime rather than having one fixed view.
The breakup of the former Soviet Union made weapons of mass destruction and related technologies widely available to terrorists and have resulted in greatly increased worry among law-abiding citizens about the possibility of a nuclear explosion than during the Cold War. Recent studies show that the drug violence in Mexico killed more than 6,000 people in 2008, and has killed 1,000 so far this year and spilled over the border into the U.S. As of December 2008, US Congress has appropriated a total of about $808 billion primarily for the Global War on Terrorism, or GWOT, operations since 2001.Of that amount, about $187 billion has been provided for fiscal year 2008 and about $65.9 billion has been appropriated for use in fiscal year 2009. The Department of Defense plans on requesting an additional $75.5 billion in supplemental funds for fiscal year 2009. What should be the solution for these increasing violence, security threats and the increasing level of spending?
As a security consultant, I will always recommend a variety of measures to combat terrorism, drug trafficking, and other global criminal activity. As a British American Security Expert, I don’t consider law enforcement alone is an appropriate response in combating these circumstances. Often the perpetrators have sought sanctuary in other countries and cannot be brought to trial. It is an onerous task to compile clear proof when it comes to global crime. Other than a stringent law enforcement regime, diplomatic measures, economic sanctions, military activity, or intelligence measures, in many cases, can offer advantages. Alternatively, a combination of law enforcement and these lateral measures can combat the growing global terrorism.
