Jointness in Homeland Security
2TECI
• Jointness between Government Agencies is hard.
• However, during the second "Intifada", National Security
Agencies had no alternative but to cooperate.
• Those models were so successful untill they become
part of the organizations DNA.
3TECI
Jointness with the Public
• Community Policing was
developed in most western
countries as a result of the
alienation between the
police and civilians.
• That is not the situation in
Israel
4TECI
It is not that the Israeli
people appreciate police
activities, like fighting crime
and keeping order, any
more than in other
democracies.
The reason is completely
different!
5TECI
What the Israeli people do appreciate is the police work in the field of homeland security
6TECI
Security
is the one issue
that unites
citizens in a
country that is
still fighting for
its existence
7TECI
We see the struggle for power in the field of Homeland security
• Security problems were
mainly concentrated at
the borders until 1974.
• But since 1974, the
civilian population
became a target
8TECI
The terrorist attack during the 1972 Summer Olympics in Munich
11 members of the
Israeli Olympic team,
were taken hostage,
and eventually killed.
9TECI
Israel Police is preparing itself to a new reality
• It establishes the Yamam – the Israel's Counter-
Terrorism Unit (one of the best in the world).
10TECI
Smartly, they prepared themselves to the day that the question will be asked:
Till then, only the army had
a unit tat can handle a
terrorism attack - Sayeret
Matkal (General Staff
Reconnaissance Unit).
“Who will be responsible for Homeland Security?
11TECI
“Sayeret Matkal” was the unit that rescue the hostages from Entebbe in July 1976
12TECI
Why Israel need another unit?
• “Everything you can do I can do better…” – this is the
struggle for power!
Demonstration 2
13TECI
It took time until the Yamam earned its status
• There were two bus
hijackings by terrorists - in -
1984 and 1988.
• In 1984, the army decided
to give the Job to “Sayeret
Matkal”.
The result: a civilian was killed during the takeover!
14TECI
In 1988 the military was concerned of the responsibility
The army commander gave the job to the Yamam & they
did a perfect job!
15TECI
In Bureaucratic organizations, the right things usually occur for the wrong reasons!
16TECI
By the way,
• Few years ago, The Prison
Service did the same thing.
• This is a way to earn power
and respect from Shaback,
that need these those units
to work with him on an
ongoing basis in the
Palestinian cities!
17TECI
May 1974: Terror Strikes!
22 boys and girls were
killed in Ma’alot (near the
northern border) in a failed
rescue operation
conducted by the army,
after a terrorist group held
children hostages in their
school
18TECI
An Opportunity for the Police!
he IDF's failure was a great opportunity for the police to get
responsibility over “Homeland Security”
19TECI
Police officials had no prior knowledge in the field. They had to "create" their own knowledge!
These are often the
situations, in which
organizations need a
partnership with the
public.
20TECI
20Police commanders, very wisely, chose two community models of maintaining security: The Bomb Squad Div. & The Civil Guard
21TECI
1. The Civil Guard – Operating volunteers
22TECI
2. The Bomb Squad Div. – The best community model of all!
23TECI
In the seventies terrorists used to hide bombs in bags and leave them in crowded places
23
24TECI
Partnership with:
• The Public;
• Civilian security officers in different organizations;
25TECI
mutual trust!25
The Bomb Squad Div. can only be effective if citizens locate these bombs, clear the crowd, contact authorities and allow a sapper to defuse the bomb safely

A police’s poster from the seventies asking citizens for help
26TECI
This is an equal partnership: One policeman is doing his job & everybody helps…
26
27TECI
… based on:
• Information gathering & Sharing information;
• Joint training;
• A “big head” cop, that has all the knowledge he needs, & is more important then his commanders!
28TECI
It's very similar to the “McDonald's client ‘education’ system”
The ability to hold only a small number of workers, after
creating an environment that customers are cleaning up
after themselves!

29TECI
Public trust has deepened after the development of social networking
30TECI
Internet communications during an emergency event, is Less fragile than any other media
• 2011: The largest earthquake in
Japan - traditional
communication systems
collapsed as a result of damage
to infrastructure.
• The Internet and social
networks have become Japan’s
dominant media during and
after the disaster.
31TECI
Only few years ago,
• Organizations have used the
networks in an emergency,
without realizing the full
potential of networking.
• It was only a one-way transfer
of information, ignoring the
interactive potential that exists
in them.
32TECI
And now – an interactive dialogue in real time!
33TECI
Thanks to the good connectivity with the people
There were almost no casualties from the missile strikes in
the last war!
34TECI
Jointness with other Security Agencies
• It is much harder than
with the public!
• The struggle over
power… remember?
35TECI
Is Jointness Possible with all these?
• “Shaback” Prime Minister Office
• IDF Security Office
• The Home Front Command
• Police Public Security Office
• Fire & Rescue Services
• MDA Health Office
36TECI
Until 2000 there was no Jointness at all!
36
Only selfishness and a struggle on power…
37TECI
No connection between the police & “Shaback” in the field level!
• They shared information &
knowledge through the
headquarters organizations.
• The process took time & not
all knowledge and information
passed!
38TECI
In 2000, the second intifada broke outIts main characteristic was the suicide bombers, who blew
themselves up in Israel cities!
39TECI
There was no time for the usual procedureFrom the moment Shabak knew about a bomber, he
usually had less than an hour to stop him!
Palestinian Cities (Army responsibility)
Jewish Cities (Police responsibility)
40TECI
There
• The situation - that a bomber
managed to explode because
the information was not
transmitted to the army and
the police on time – was
dangerous to the Shaback
commanders.
41TECI
In Bureaucratic organizations, the right things usually occur for the wrong reasons!
42TECI
This is the reason why…42
Since 9/11, the security organizations in the Western world, including Israel, actually lead in Jointness
43TECI
The result was a great success!
• The heads of the “Shaback”, the IDF and the Police
realized that Jointness makes them more powerful, &
Jointness has become a part of their DNA
44TECI
They began to seek partners for any complex task
45TECI
Another Jointness Model
Terrorists’ targeted killing
from the air became the
most effective weapon
tool against terrorists,
after Hamas took Gaza
by force in June 2007
46TECI
• “Shaback” proposed
IDF & the Air Force to
establish a joint “Fire
Center” in the IDF
Southern Command.
• Direct Information was
handled in real time;
and again’ The result
was a big success to
all agencies.
47TECI
Recovering from
surprise
48TECI
The working connections are the Immune System of the organization…remember?
… because, self-organization is the best
ways to recover from surprises!
49TECI
Surprise
• Surprise: the emergence is different than the expectationsExpecting “more
of the same”
shock
• The result: shock, paralysis and loss of direction. System drifts into chaos
Beginning of the recovery
• Beginning of recovery at the field level. Leaders still in shock
Slow recovery
• The system is expecting a familiar event, that she knows to deal with, using existing tools
Typical pattern of surprises:
50TECI
The Yom Kippur War
51TECI
Last winter snowstorm in Jerusalem
52TECI
Jointness with the Public
• One measure of the
success of the
collaboration is the love of
the public!
• But, there is also a
downside: it allows
Security Organizations to
avoid needed reforms…
53TECI
For example:
Each time criticism
on police-work
increases – a
security crisis returns
public sympathy to
the police…

I hope I was helpful
