INTRODUCTION
The Volunteer Special Constabulary (VSC) comprises volunteers from all walks of life, from professionals such as lawyers and engineers to blue-collar executives, bonded with the same aspiration to serve the nation by complementing the SPF. VSC Officers don the same police uniform as their regular counterparts and are deployed to the various land divisions and specialist units.
MISSION
To support the SPF to prevent, deter and detect crime through volunteerism.
ROLES/FUNCTIONS
VSC recruits undergo a non-residential Police Officer Basic Course at the Home Team Academy. The Course is conducted in the evenings, twice a week, for a duration of about 6 months. It imparts the volunteers with basic police skills, basic legal knowledge, street craft, firearms training, physical training, drills and unarmed combat. Recruits will be required to pass a prescribed examination at the end of the training period.
On completion of the course, VSC Officers are posted to various Land Divisions or Specialised Units, namely 7 Police Land divisions, Airport Police, Police Coast Guard, Transport Security Command and Traffic Police. Though posting choices are provided, they are subjected to organisational needs of the SPF. Officers are required to perform a minimum of 16 hours of duty per month and will receive an allowance of S$5.20 per hour, regardless of rank.
