Armour is the decisive force of our Army. Our firepower, mobility, protection and situational awareness offer a potent package to defeat any enemy. The Singapore Armoured Regiment is a modern and integrated force.

Together, you are part of a team that trains and fights as one. Training in Armour is demanding, as it involves the mastery of machines and weaponry.

  • Community Policing in Singapore
    COMMUNITY POLICING IN SINGAPORE by Mark Low Jian Neng A THESIS SUBMITTED IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF MASTER OF ARTS in The Faculty of Graduate Studies (Geography) THE UNIVERSITY OF BRITISH COLUMBIA (VANCOUVER) April 2012 ©Mark Low Jian Neng, 2012 ABSTRACT This thesis is devoted towards unpacking how community policing has been managed as a state discourse by the Singapore Police Force. Firstly, community policing is located within the historical context of a modernising Singapore. This begins with the need for crime prevention that was disseminated through decentralised neighbourhood police posts in the 1980s. With economic restructuring in the 1990s, community policing was rescaled to meet the changing demography of the population. Following an enhanced deployment of counter-terrorism discourse in the wake of 9/11, community policing was re-invented as part of a (re)bordering strategy to safeguard territorial sovereignty and social cohesion. Secondly, the methodology of community policing is visualised through the changing frames of the state-produced docu- drama, Crime Watch. As a television programme that has consistently raked in high viewership numbers for 25 years, Crime Watch texts deserve their fair share of critical scrutiny to reveal the means of community engagement by the state police. Thirdly, the personal networks of Volunteer Special Constables are studied for the insights that they can reveal into the work of policing one’s community. Personal interviews with sixteen volunteers provide the empirical data for analysis. Volunteers have committed much time and effort into performing the work of volunteer police officers. Mediating the boundaries between the police and the public, these volunteers translate community policing into practice in complicated ways that have not been adequately documented.

    Planning for a Secure City Undergirding the perceptible dimensions of a liveable city—a bustling economy, dazzling skyline, state-of-the-art public infrastructure and amenities—is its ability to provide its inhabitants and visitors alike the confidence that their personal STUDIES URBAN SYSTEMS safety is ensured and safeguarded. Yet, at times, balancing security and urban design needs presents unique, though not insurmountable, challenges. This Urban Systems Study charts the critical role that security planning and urban design have together played in Singapore’s transformation from being the crime-ridden city that it was some 50 years ago to one of the safest places in the world today. It discusses the country’s use of innovative ideas and technology, its pragmatic approach to security enforcement and urban planning, and its willingness to challenge traditional Planning for A Secure City norms of security provision where necessary. It also examines how neither liveability nor security was compromised in Planning for Singapore’s plans to better prepare itself for emerging security and societal threats. a Secure City This book additionally highlights how the co-opting or active involvement of the public in various security-related initiatives, and the resulting trust built between the government and people, have complemented and enhanced the efforts of Singapore’s security and planning agencies in creating a secure city. “ A good city, first you must feel safe in it.

  • Unraveling the Concept of Volunteer Policing
    Greenberg-1-40 5/25/05 4:16 PM Page 1 1 Unraveling the Concept of Volunteer Policing The strength of a democracy is not in bureaucracy; it is in the people and their communities. In everything we do, let us unleash the potential of our most pre- cious resource—our citizens. President George H. W. Bush, State of the Union Message, January 29, 1991 In the thirteenth century, Henry III mandated that all his male subjects (be- tween the ages of fifteen and fifty) own a weapon other than a knife so that they could stand guard in order to preserve the peace of the realm: “In the event of a crime, every man had to join in the ‘hue and cry’—summoning aid and joining the pursuit of anyone who resisted arrest or escaped from custody” (Levy 1999, 136). Today, while most American states still require private citizens to come to the aid of a law enforcement officer if called upon, they are not asked to carry a weapon or routinely serve as a constable or member of the watch in either England or the United States. Neverthe- less, tens of thousands of citizens in both nations currently routinely serve as volunteer police officers, and it is not uncommon for these volunteers to have paid for their own training, uniforms, and other equipment. The use of generally uncompensated voluntary and involuntary police in the Western world dates back at least a thousand years or more. At that time, England was divided into ten family units called “tithings” and ten tithings called “hundreds.” All of the men over the age of fifteen in these units formed a posse comitatus, required upon being alerted to pursue any fleeing felons (Roberg, Crank, and Kuykendall 2000, 34).
