There will be a change of command at Jurong Police Division on 20 August 2025.
Assistant Commissioner of Police (AC) Sergius Wat (屈志文) will assume command of Jurong Police Division on 20 August 2025. He takes over from AC Tan Jin Rui Jerald (陈劲瑞), who will assume the post of Director (Strategy, Policy and Resourcing) (Designate) at the Smart Nation Group of the Ministry of Digital Development and Information (MDDI) on the same day.
AC Sergius Wat, 37, joined the Singapore Police Force (SPF) in 2007. In his 18 years with the SPF, he has held several key appointments including Director of the Aviation Relations and Systems Division and Senior Deputy Director of the Sea Transport Division in the Ministry of Transport, Deputy Commander of Jurong Police Division, Assistant Director of the Policy Development Division in the Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA) and Commanding Officer of Pasir Ris Neighbourhood Police Centre (NPC).
AC Jerald Tan, 39, who was appointed Commander of Jurong Police Division on 29 August 2022, joined the SPF in 2005. In his 20 years with the SPF, he has held several key appointments including Deputy Commander of Bedok Police Division, Senior Assistant Director (Policy) of the SGSecure Programme Office in MHA, Head Operations and Training of Tanglin Police Division and Commanding Officer of Hougang NPC.
Under AC Tan's command, Jurong Police Division achieved significant milestones, including the 2nd Runner-Up position in the 'Best Land Division Competition' in 2024. During his tenure, AC Tan led the Division in managing several high-profile cases such as the investigation against a suspect for allegedly organising a public assembly without a police permit at a migrant worker dormitory in Tuas in August 2024. The Division also enhanced its community engagement through innovative crime prevention initiatives such as the launch of anti-shop theft music videos in November 2024. AC Tan also successfully led his officers in deployments for various major security operations such as the National Day Parade, the Presidential Elections in 2023, the General Elections in 2025 and the evacuation of some 4,000 residents for the controlled detonation of a war relic at a condominium construction site along Upper Bukit Timah Road in 2023.
Reflecting on his tenure as Commander of Jurong Police Division, AC Tan said, "It has been my privilege to serve alongside the men and women of Jurong Police Division, including our Volunteer Special Constabulary officers and Police National Servicemen. Your unwavering dedication to our mission, resilience in facing challenges, and genuine care for the community have been truly inspiring. I would also like to express my deep appreciation to our community partners and stakeholders for their steadfast support in our mission to prevent, deter and detect crime. Our strong collaboration in crime prevention efforts on the ground will continue to be a cornerstone of Jurong Police Division's success."
