SPS Annual Report 2013 “The Star Thrower” (or “starfish story”) is part of a 16-page essay of the same name by Loren Eiseley (1907–1977). It relates the account of an elderly man who spotted a young boy flinging stranded starfishes back into the ocean one at a time. ANNUAL REPORT 2013 The old man observed, “But there must be tens of thousands of starfish on this beach. I’m afraid you won’t really be able to make much of a difference.” The boy bent down, picked up yet another starfish and threw it as far as he could into the ocean. Then he turned, smiled and said, “It made a difference to that one!” SINGAPORE PRISON SERVICE ANNUAL REPORT 2013 Vision As Captains of Lives, we inspire everyone, at every chance, towards a society C0NTENTS without re-offending.

  • 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.

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.
