Strategic planning is the duty of the security agencies imposed by the circumstances
and the nature of their work to ensure the advancement of their responsibilities and
face the dangers and challenges and to maintain security and stability is the basis of
development and progress in the society (Dr.Darwish, Housin . 2007).

Noticeable increase in terrorism crime rates, which means that the danger is
increasing day by day, that the face of these crimes traditional methods will not
achieve the objectives of those confrontations, especially after he developed methods
to commit such crimes using modern techniques and methods, This imposes on the
relevant organs combating terrorism reliance on strategic planning to overcome this
phenomenon. The best example of this strategy, which was adopted by the Arab
Interior Ministers Council, this is the right direction to achieve the desired goals (Al
Harbi, Deif Allah. 2010).

Terrorist crimes of the most serious crimes that leave behind large losses and affect
the state and its economy dramatically and are considered terrorist crimes of the major
challenges faced many countries in the contemporary time in term of varied motives
of terrorism and extremism, the mismatch religion, including the political and
pathological (Hamza ,Mohammed . 2012).

Strategic planning is a process of opportunities available to coordinate resources and

achieve strategic objectives during the period of time based on a strategic vision to be
achieved in that period. The meant of strategic planning is think ahead to what should
be done by a certain period of time to achieve the desired goals, because without
strategic planning community to heading the unknown in all its aspects (Tlavhh,
Housin . 2009).

There are strong and solid relationship between security and sustainable development
of society. Without security, there is no development and that security is an essential
pillar of the stability of the pillars of Community Development (Ali, Hassan, Adel .
2006)
