FOREWORD s a Force for the nation, we are relentlessly working on preventing, deterring and A detecting crime. Every June, we take time out to reaffirm and celebrate our contribution to the community. The Police Day Parade is one event where we honour our past and rededicate ourselves to the service of the nation. Our officers’ good work is recognised during the Commissioner of Police’s Commendation Ceremony. Not forgetting the important role our community partners and stakeholders play in crime-fighting, we thank them during the Annual Police Dinner. The Police Life team has put together this special edition to commemorate this year’s celebrations. Start with a glimpse of some of our parade’s past milestones. Then share in our officers’ pride as they talk about their work both frontline and behind the desk. We have teams of officers from the Traffic Police Department, Neighbourhood Police Centre and the Commercial Affairs Department introducing what they do on a day-to-day basis. You can also “hear it from the horse’s mouth” by viewing the video interviews with some of them in our iPad and iPhone app versions. Rounding off this issue is a look into what the future holds for the 15,700–strong Force. As it is said, change is the only constant. The Police Life Editorial team is working on a new look and feel for Police Life. So keep a lookout for our future issues!

  • 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.

    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’.
