SPF Training Safety Symposium 2022
When it comes to training safety, we all have a part to play. The inaugural Singapore Police Force (SPF) Training Safety Symposium 2022 was held on 6 October 2022 with the theme “Training Safety is Everyone’s Responsibility.” Attended by over 420 officers, the Symposium allowed for the sharing of best practices in the field of safe and effective training.
The Police Bicentennial 2020 Medal and Medallion
The Police Bicentennial 2020 Medal and Medallion were unveiled at the Police Day Parade on 3 June 2022 to commemorate 200 years of the SPF. On this day, Police officers stood proud with the new medals on our uniforms to honour the contributions of all officers, past and present. Together, we also renewed our pledge to keep Singapore safe and secure. Check out highlights from this year’s Police Day Parade!
NS55: Generations of Strength
Since it was institutionalised in 1967, National Service (NS) has become one of the pillars of Singapore’s security. To commemorate 55 years of NS, in 2022, the SPF took part in a series of events to recognise the contributions of National Servicemen from the Home Team and Singapore Armed Forces. Thank you for your service! Learn more about our NS officers at this link. Check out our Fall In video series too!
Bomb-Sweeping Drones and Robots
One of the core duties of the Security Command (SecCom) is to conduct search operations to look for explosive devices or security threats at major events, to safeguard guests and participants. To enhance their search capabilities, SecCom has worked with the Home Team Science and Technology Agency to leverage technology such as drones and robots to search hard-to-reach or hazardous areas.

20th Anniversary of the Police Heritage Centre (PHC)
After a two-year hiatus due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the PHC re-opened its doors on 15 August 2022, in conjunction with its 20th anniversary! A popular attraction that receives a steady stream of visitors, the PHC showcases the SPF’s history and heritage, honouring the invaluable contributions of officers both past and present who have kept Singapore safe and secure.

Finally, Special Thanks to Our Dedicated Officers on the Ground!
In 2022, Singapore once again secured the top spot on Gallup’s Global Law and Order Index. As always, our officers were steadfast in their duties, giving their best while knowing that at any moment they might be thrust into extraordinary situations to save lives. In June 2022, what started as a routine night shift duty turned into an unforgettable evening for two Ground Response Force officers from Woodlands West Neighbourhood Police Centre. First to arrive at a HDB unit on fire, they didn’t hesitate and rescued two toddlers from the inferno. Read on to find out what happened!
