Journal History

Innovative Student Management (ISM) has introduced the Law Enforcement Training (LPU) program at Innovative International College, Kelana Jaya, Selangor. This program is offered at the Certificate, Diploma and Bachelor levels in several law enforcement specialisation subjects. In an effort to further strengthen the existing LPU program, ISM took the initiative to develop Pertubuhan Sukarelawan Briged Bencana Fakulti Penguatkuasaan Undang-Undang (BBLPU). ISM is in collaboration with several enforcement and security agencies in the country and abroad.

Thus, BBLPU has developed Journal of Security and Enforcement (JSE). JSE exposes to students and the community the direction of enforcement and security as a high-level and recognized career path. In addition, JSE also introduces new and advanced technological innovations in the field of enforcement and modern security.
