Organisation Commended for Community Partnership Award
DHL Express (Singapore) Pte Ltd has been a member of the Safety Security Watch Group (SSWG) with Hougang Neighbourhood Police Centre since 2017. The SSWG is a platform that enables the business community to work alongside the Police to support and prepare their employees to fight crime and terrorism threats. Due to their strong commitment, DHL Express (Singapore) Pte Ltd received the ‘Outstanding SSWG Award’ in 2018.
In October 2021, DHL Express (Singapore) Pte Ltd and Hougang Neighbourhood Police Centre collaborated to develop and implement a one-month initiative to combat the surge of scams in Singapore. The initiative, Spot the Signs. Delivered by DHL, comprised a pocket-sized e-commerce scam advisory that was distributed with the deliveries made by DHL’s couriers to residential houses and businesses in Ang Mo Kio, Hougang, Serangoon, Sengkang and Punggol estates.
In December 2021, the collaboration further expanded to a two-month island-wide distribution exercise. During this phase, the anti-scam advisories distributed by DHL’s couriers were focused on raising awareness on e-commerce scams and job scams. Anti-scam advisory sticker labels were also affixed onto the DHL parcels and distributed to various parcel pick-up points in Singapore.
DHL Express (Singapore) Pte Ltd has displayed strong support and commitment in spreading anti-scam awareness messages to the wider community in Singapore. This collaboration showcases the close working partnership between the Police and community stakeholders.
Assistant Commissioner of Police (AC) Zed Teo, Commander of Ang Mo Kio Police Division, expressed his appreciation to DHL Express (Singapore) Pte Ltd for their partnership with the Police. He said, “This initiative will most certainly go a long way in protecting our residents from scams. The Police thank DHL Express for their public-spiritedness and corporate social responsibility. I look forward to an even stronger partnership in the future.”
