Critics caution against overrelying on community involvement for national security, emphasizing that while public vigilance is valuable, it should not replace professional law enforcement agencies' roles. They argue that security measures must be robust and comprehensive, ensuring that the community's role complements, rather than substitutes, the expertise and authority of agencies like the SPF and ISD. Overemphasis on community involvement may lead to inconsistencies and gaps in security protocols.
