  • The 2016 Public Safety Summit: Building Capacity and Legitimacy the 2016 Public Safety Summit: Building Capacity and Legitimacy
    The 2016 Public Safety Summit: Building Capacity and Legitimacy The 2016 Public Safety Summit: Building Capacity and Legitimacy Today’s public safety leaders often feel squeezed in a vise. On one side pressure is ramping up to respond to ever- more-complex crime and public safety threats such as natural disasters, violent extremism, and cybercrime. On the other side are pressing demands for citizen engagement, stakeholder collaboration, and community outreach. Policing leaders can feel torn: Should they focus on fighting crime efficiently? Or should they focus on growing public trust? Forward-thinking public safety leaders realize that to build legitimacy the answer is “yes” – to improving both crime prevention and public trust. Yet to accomplish both objectives, public safety leaders need to pursue innovations that increase organizational capacity. In a world of limited resources, finding the right mix of innovations will require grappling with tough questions. To help public safety leaders move forward on this challenge, Leadership for a Networked World and the Technology and Entrepreneurship Center at Harvard, in collaboration with Accenture, convened senior-most leaders for The 2016 Public Safety Summit: Building Capacity and Legitimacy. Held at Harvard University in Cambridge, Massachusetts, from April 29 – May 1, 2016, the Summit provided an unparalleled opportunity to learn from and work with policing and public safety peers, Harvard faculty and researchers, and select industry experts. Summit attendees dissected case studies and participated in peer-to-peer problem-solving and plenary sessions in an effort to learn and work together on four key leadership strategies: Convened by In collaboration with 2 The 2016 Public Safety Summit • Innovative approaches and operating models to reduce operational costs and complexity while increasing agility in policing structures, systems, and people.

    REPORT .93 Law Enforcement Leadership for a Changing World Michael Outram Australian Federal Police Australia Rainer Brenner Bundespolizei Germany Dougal McClelland National Crime Agency UK Anders Dorph Danish National Police Denmark “Developing leaders for the future is vital; crime is no longer constrained by borders and we’re seeing the death of distance; police are being held to higher levels of accountability for outcomes and performance; and the environment we live in is evolving more quickly than ever.” Pearls in Policing member Ng Joo He, 2012. Introduction - Pearls in Policing Inspired by the international Bilderberg concept, since 2007 Pearls in Policing has brought an international group of top law enforcement executives together to discuss the key strategic issues facing their profession, in an environment that is conducive to focussing on the future (Pearls in Policing, 2012). The debate and insights that emerge from Pearls in Policing both inform and are informed by the work of an action learning group, which is one of five components of the Pearls in Policing model: Journal of Futures Studies, June 2014, 18(4): 93-106 Journal of Futures Studies 1. An annual conference 2. The International Action Learning Group (IALG), known as the ‘Pearl Fishers’ 3. An academic forum 4. Work groups 5.

In 2013 the conference was held in Amsterdam, where the 7th IALG presented their research findings which built on the research of previous IALG’s; in 2011 the chosen theme was Charting the Course of Change, which examined how social media, new technology and the formation of strategic alliances influence change in policing; in 2012 the chosen theme was Policing for a Safer World, which examined professionalism, collective approaches to cybercrime, and achieving a discipline of learning across organisations.

    POLICE NEWS RELEASE _________________________________________________________________ ANNUAL CRIME BRIEF 2020 Singapore Remains One of the Safest Cities in the World Overall Crime Rate increased due to rise in scam cases Singapore remains one of the safest cities in the world. Singapore was ranked first in the Gallup’s 2020 Global Law and Order report for the seventh consecutive year, with 97% of residents reporting that they felt safe walking home alone in their neighbourhood at night, as compared to an average of 69% worldwide.1 The World Justice Project’s Rule of Law Index 2020 also ranked Singapore first for order and security.2 2. In 2020, the total number of reported crimes increased by 6.5% to 37,409 cases, from 35,115 cases in 2019. The Overall Crime Rate also increased, with 658 cases per 100,000 population in 2020, compared to 616 cases per 100,000 population in 2019.3 3. The increase in the number of reported crimes was due to a rise in scam cases. In particular, online scams saw a significant increase as Singaporeans carried out more online transactions due to the COVID-19 situation. 4 Please see Annex A for the statistics on the top ten scam types. 4. If scam cases were excluded, the total number of reported crimes in 2020 would have decreased by 15.3% to 21,653 from 25,570 in 2019. Decrease in physical crimes and more crime-free days 5.

  • World Factbook of Criminal Justice Systems
    WORLD FACTBOOK OF CRIMINAL JUSTICE SYSTEMS SINGAPORE Mahesh Nalla Michigan State University This country report is one of many prepared for the World Factbook of Criminal Justice Systems under Bureau of Justice Statistics grant No. 90-BJ-CX-0002 to the State University of New York at Albany. The project director was Graeme R. Newman, but responsibility for the accuracy of the information contained in each report is that of the individual author. The contents of these reports do not necessarily reflect the views or policies of the Bureau of Justice Statistics or the U. S. Department of Justice. GENERAL OVERVIEW I. Political system. Singapore is a city/nation with a population of 2.6 million. 77% of its population are Chinese, 15%, Malays, and 6%, Indian. The four official languages of Singapore are English, Mandarin Chinese, Malay, and Tamil. (Vreeland, et.al., 1977). The Republic of Singapore is a parliamentary government patterned after the English Westminster model. The constitution provides the structure and organization of the executive, legislative, and judicial branches of the government. (Vreeland, et.al., 1977). 2. Legal system The legal system in Singapore is adversarial in nature. English common law was superimposed on the existing Malay customary law and Muslim law. Consequently, the legal system in Singapore can be characterized as pluralistic. While the dominant common law which shaped the Singapore legal system applies to all segments of the population, Muslim law governs the Muslim community in religious and matrimonial matters. Muslim law is administered in accordance with the Administration of Muslim Law Act, Cap.42.

  • MID-YEAR CRIME STATISTICS 2021 Overall Crime Situation for January to June 2021
    POLICE NEWS RELEASE _________________________________________________________________ MID-YEAR CRIME STATISTICS 2021 Overall Crime Situation for January to June 2021 Overall crime increased, largely due to a rise in scam cases In the first half of 2021, the total number of reported crimes increased by 11.2% to 19,444 cases, from 17,492 cases in the same period in 2020. 2. This increase was largely due to a rise in scam cases, which rose by 16.0% to 8,403 cases in 2021, from 7,247 cases in the same period last year. In contrast, there was a 108.8% increase in scam cases in 2020, when scam cases jumped from 3,470 cases in the first half of 2019 to 7,247 cases in the same period in 2020; 27.1% increase in 2019; and 19.5% increase in 2018.The rate of increase this year has been reduced noticeably. 3. Excluding scams, the total number of reported crimes in the first half of the year rose by 7.8% to 11,041 in 2021, from 10,245 in the same period in 2020. This increase was partly due to a lower number of crimes, excluding scams, reported during the Circuit Breaker in 2020, when many activities were restricted. For the same period in 2019, there were 12,770 reported cases of crimes excluding scams. 4. Despite this effect of the Circuit Breaker, there was still a decrease of more than 400 cases reported in two broad crime classes – housebreaking and related crimes, and theft and related crimes – in the first half of 2021 compared with the same period in 2020.
