Not Real Green Beret Tactics IMO
Not real Green Beret Tactics IMO. Real Green Beret Tactics in this situation would be more like the book Killing Pablo which would be highly illegal in the US. Creating a Counter-Gang like Los Pepes would be real Green Beret stuff.
The whole article is more like a Police Public Realtions event IMO. Real Green Berets don't like publicity on real operations....messes up the whole thing.
Counter Criminal Continuum (C3) Policing
The website mentioned in post #65, perhaps - MSP C3 Policing, with its most pertinent points defining itself being:
Mission Statement (emphasis added):
Quote:
The MSP Special Projects Team facilitates unity of effort and criminal intelligence gathering by, with, and through interagency, community, and private enterprise cooperation in order to detect, disrupt, degrade and dismantle criminal activity in North End of Springfield, Massachusetts.
The Origins of C3 Policing
Quote:
The Avghani Model, Stanley T. Grip, Jr. (Army, May 2008) (ODA 944, 19th SFG) (
pdf)
Using the Bob Jones "Flag Test", Avhgani was FID; this C3 Policing (presumably - since it's INCONUS) might be regarded as some form of "COIN" .

C3 vs Community Policing

My take: LEOs <-> Community (interactive support via the "from the people; back to the people" loop - true rule of law).
