Ammon News - The Public Security Directorate (PSD), represented by the Community Peace Project, in partnership with the Australian Federal Police (AFP), and local community institutions, concluded the activities of the National Team for Community Peace, which included training sessions on countering extremism and maintaining personal and property security.

Speaking during the closing ceremony, PSD assistant director for judicial affairs, Brigadier Gen. Mohammed Tbishat, said the implementation of the project, in collaboration with local community institutions, reflect the "shared" responsibility in achieving security in its blanket sense, and to emphasize the joint effort to confronting extremist ideology, reducing crime, achieving community peace and security and exchanging experiences.

Security and societal peace require orchestrating efforts to face threats, especially as the world is witnessing a wide spread of organized crime, foremost of which is terrorism, extremism and digital openness, according to Tbishat.
