Security Beyond Enforcement

Security Beyond Enforcement challenges the conventional belief that force alone can ensure national security. Drawing on over or decades of experience in policing and intelligence, Mahil offers a candid and insider perspectives on strengths, failures and missed opportunities within Sri Lanka's security framework. This book argues that lasting security demands more than enforcement, it requires coherent policy, intelligence led strategy, institutional coordination, and meaningful community engagement. It highlights how reactive approaches can fragmented decision-making have repeatedly undermined long-term stability. Grounded in real world experience and critical reflection, this work is both an assessment and a call for action, for a more integrated, forward-looking approach to national security.
