Police Pal

Police Pal is an exciting programme by the SPF that brings crime prevention to life for our youngest community members! Through fun, hands-on activities, preschoolers and primary school children can discover how to stay safe whilst learning what our friendly police officers do every day.

Born from the successful Young Police Buddy programme in Bedok in 2019, Police Pal has grown into something truly special. We show children that they can trust police officers and how to approach them for help when needed.

Say Hello to Ray - Every Child's Police Buddy!

Ray is our cheerful police mascot who lights up children's faces wherever he goes! Just like his name suggests, Ray shares important safety lessons and makes learning about crime prevention an adventure rather than a worry. He's the friendly face that guides children through exciting Police Pal activities, assuring them that they can trust the police officers to help and protect them, when needed.

Storytime Adventures with Ray

Our Community Policing Unit officers bring Ray's world to life through captivating storybooks during visits to preschools. These are not just any stories – these are carefully crafted adventures where Ray helps people in need, showing children real-life examples of kindness and safety. Read up the Police Pal storybook series to discover how police officers care for the safety of everyone!
