Dear Customers,
With effect from 1 August 2021, the Police Licensing & Regulatory Department will further restrict over-the-counter services at the Police Cantonment Complex, 391 New Bridge Road, to attend to services with pre-approved appointments only, including making payments at counter for services that cannot be done online. This move supports the Multi-Ministry Taskforce’s implementation of elevated safe distancing measures.

3 We will attend to cases of persons who turn up without an appointment on a case-by-case basis, only if they have valid reasons. For collection of controlled item(s), please pay the license fee for the item(s) (if any) online, and email us at SPF_Licensing_Feedback@spf.gov.sg to arrange for collection.

Overview of Security Agencies Competency Evaluation (SACE)
SACE has replaced the former Security Agencies Grading Exercise from 1 January 2022. Under SACE, security agencies will be assessed on Core and Elective Competencies. Security agencies must attain a "pass" in all Core Competencies to be eligible for a one-year licence. Agencies will also be evaluated closer to the date of their licence expiry. Agencies will be evaluated for Elective Competencies from 2023 onwards.
