SEARCCT serves as a leading Centre in the Southeast Asia region to train and enhance the capacity of enforcement and security officials on counter-terrorism issues in collaboration with established think-tank institutions and international organisations. The Centre also serves to promote Malaysia’s perspective on how best to deal with terrorism and the promotion of a comprehensive approach to counter-terrorism. SEARCCT has also utilised various training courses, conferences, and forums to discuss and disseminate the urgency to have a multi-pronged and multi-faceted approach in countering terrorism. In implementing its mission, SEARCCT has identified seven flagships. The flagships are: • Investigation and Legal Aspect, • CBRNE and Crisis Management, • Aviation, Maritime and Transport Security, • Cyber Terrorism, • Prevention and Rehabilitation, • Terrorism Financing, and • Youth and Terrorism. Since its inception in August 2003 until December 2015, SEARCCT had successfully conducted a total of 170 training courses with 5,511 local and foreign officials participants. In ensuring a comprehensive programme, SEARCCT will include, in its training modules, field visits as well as practical and simulation exercises in order to add value and provide interesting learning experience for participants. SEARCCT will also continue to enhance its syllabus, expand its cooperation with relevant institutions - both local and foreign - and establish further links with international and regional organisations such as the United Nations and ASEAN to ensure its programmes provide the necessary knowledge to address the current challenges of terrorism. Towards this, SEARCCT continues to ensure its programme to focus on existing and future perceived threats and catering to the needs of its clientele. SEARCCT has had numerous collaborations with foreign and local agencies. In 2015, The Centre had collaborated with the Embassy of the United States of America, Embassy of France, Embassy of Japan, New Zealand High Commission and Australia High Commission. With the aim of enriching its programmes, SEARCCT welcomes proposals for productive collaborations with institutions and organisations, both locally and abroad. SEARCCT also organises public lectures, forums, roundtable discussions, seminars and workshops for interested organisations and individuals. They include, among others, governmental officials, academicians and university students, representatives from think-tank, non-governmental organisations and training institutes along with the members of the diplomatic corps based in Kuala Lumpur. 2 PROSPECTUS 2015 SEARCCT - Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Malaysia Although the prospectus only reflects several collaborators, changes and conditions of co- operation with other partners will be included once details of joint-training programmes are confirmed. The list of programmes and collaborators are therefore not exhaustive. VISION “To be a regional centre of excellence in training and research on counter-terrorism”.
