Interestingly during each of the three general elections, I was in a different department in the SPF and experienced first-hand the different aspects, specifically the intelligence, manpower planning and public affairs aspects, of the security operations that the SPF undertakes during such elections. For every one of those elections, I saw how the SPF was fastidious about ensuring that it did better than the last operation. It is along this same go-getting drive for excellence that the SPF aligns itself with like-minded forces in the region, such as the Royal Brunei Police Force (RBPF). The Commissioner of RBPF, Pehin Haji Hasrin was conferred the Distinguished Service Order by Singapore for his role in spearheading close collaboration between the RBPF and the SPF in various facets of policing. We bring you the cover story in this issue of Police Life. For the special feature on the Punggol East by-election (BE) security operations, I was intrigued to find out about the Police’s “planking” idea, from DAC Keok Tong San, Commander of Ang Mo Kio Police Division, who oversaw the BE ground operation. The Police Life team tracked down officers who had experienced election-related operations for the first time, and these officers shared candidly, their thoughts and experiences with us. And to top it off, we also captured an “outsider’s” perspective, as one of our interns shares his first-hand experience observing the police operations. The issue is rich with other happenings in the SPF. Results of the “Point and Shoot” and “Caption This” contests are also revealed in this issue. And if you missed out on the contest, stay tuned for more contests in our upcoming issues! Happy reading everyone. Leena Rajan Senior Editor Police Life LETTER OF COMMENDATION FOR SGT NORFARIZAL AND INSP (NS) HAKIM FROM MARINA BAY NPC I am writing to commend SGT Norfarizal and INSP (NS) Hakim from Marina Bay NPC for their excellent and professional performance in assisting my aged father in-law (Mr Foo, 81 years old) who lost his way, fell and hurt his head at Bugis Village. My father-in-law, who accompanied my mother-in law to Singapore General Hospital (SGH) for medical treatment, had decided to leave the hospital (after a long wait) without informing my mother-in-law. When my mother-in-law completed her treatment in SGH, she was anxious as she discovered my father-in-law was missing. At 6.14 pm, SGT Norfarizal contacted me to inform that he had found my father-in law at Bugis Village and he had a fall and refused to be sent to hospital for treatment. The officers gave me clear and specific instructions on where to meet them and my father-in-law. Knowing that my father-in law has a strong personality and character, I am very grateful to the two police officers for their patience in handling him well and contacting me promptly. I am glad that he is safe now. I would like to convey my deepest appreciation to these two police officers for the assistance they had rendered to my father-in-law. Thank you once again to SGT Norfarizal and INSP (NS) Hakim for the job well done.

  • 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.

In the past year, we have seen our programmes reach out to 9,900 children in Singapore and about 3,200 children through direct funding of programmes in the region through a committed group of VWO partners who run the programmes. Other overseas programmes supported by MILK in previous years continued to benefit more than 18,000 people. Over the 6 years since MILK was incorporated, our work has evolved to ensure that we remain relevant and responsive to the needs in our community. This year, our MILK Education Fund, which includes both scholarships as well as bursaries, saw a rise in the number of beneficiaries. Over the last 3 years, we have continued to respond to the needs presented to us as well as assessing the many educational schemes available for tertiary education to ensure that duplication is minimal. In the hope that our MILK Scholarships will serve as an inspirational tool for future cohorts of low income students, we have further extended our financial assistance to include siblings of children with special needs.

    POLICING FOR A SAFER WORLD Singapore 2012 ................................................................................................................... ABOUT THIS BOOK Pearls in Policing 2012 POLICING FOR A SAFER WORLD It is widely recognised by top level law enforcement executives that it is necessary to actively engage in international cooperation to develop effective strategies to best position law enforcement in the future. The need for commissioners and chief executive officers from around the world to jointly identify risks, threats and opportunities as well as research new ideas and realities for policing led to the launch of the Pearls in Policing initiative in 2007. The only global think-tank within policing of its kind. Under the responsibility of the Pearls Curatorium, the Dutch based Pearls in Policing Secretariat had sole charge of the organisation of the Pearls conferences in 2007, 2008 and 2009. In 2010, the Australian Federal Police hosted the fourth Pearls in Policing conference in Sydney. The fifth conference in 2011 was again hosted in the Netherlands and the 2012 conference took place in Singapore co-hosted by the Singapore Police Force (SPF) and the Pearls Curatorium. This publication is a record of the events and discussions that took place at the Singapore conference ‘Policing for a Safer World’.
