TRAINING
Newly appointed officers are required to attend a six-month Police Office Basic Course at the Home Team Academy. It is a residential course aimed at equipping new officers with the skills, knowledge and values required for police work. Police Officer trainees will undergo training on physical fitness, weaponry, police defensive tactics and basic foot drills. There will also be classroom lessons on subjects such as Criminal Procedure Code, Penal Code and Police Procedures.

Throughout your career in the SPF, you will be sent for further training to develop or improve your competencies. There will also be opportunities to undertake sponsored degree courses, subject to approval.

  CAREER OPPORTUNITIES
Upon completion of basic training, Police Officers will be posted to a Police Land Division Headquarters or Neighbourhood Police Centre to gain hands-on operational skills and ground knowledge for police work. Some officers may also be selected for direct posting to specialist units, such as the Traffic Police, Police K-9 unit and Police Coast Guard.

Subsequently, Police Officers will also be posted to other functional areas within the SPF, such as intelligence gathering, investigation and special operations depending on your suitability, aptitude and the vacancies available.
