I agree, this case really exposes gaps in our vetting of community security volunteers.

It's odd that someone attached to a government school was trusted enough to act as informant without thorough vetting first.

I understand the concern, but in tense hotspots quick tips often matter more than full backgrounds.

Security agencies should tighten background checks and coordinate better with community leaders to prevent infiltration attempts early on.
