SINGAPORE — In the latest move to beef up resources to keep terror attacks at bay, the police announced on Thursday (Oct 19) a new compulsory training module on counter-terrorism for security guards. The two-day Recognise Terrorist Threats course, developed by the police and SkillsFuture Singapore, will give security guards an idea of current trends in terrorism, and hone their observation skills to identify threats such as improvised explosive devices, as well as how to deal with such threats.
