Clementi Police Division has clinched the Best Land Division award three times in a row at the Police Day Parade held at the Home Team Academy on 3 June 2024.

One officer who has witnessed it all is veteran Supt Lim Sin Kim, Head Logistics and Finance in Clementi Police Division. This is not surprising, given that he has spent more than 25 years in the Division, serving 10 different commanders.

Supt Lim joined the Singapore Police Force (SPF) as a Police Constable in February 1985 and began his career as a patrol team officer. He also had postings in the investigation and operation domains in his 39 years with the SPF. He has risen through the ranks over the years, and is now a Superintendent of Police, responsible for managing the finance and logistics aspects in the Division.

“When I first joined the SPF in the 1980s, the patrol car was pretty much just a normal car with a police logo on it. On the interior, it looks like any other car on the road. Today, our next-generation fast response car integrates technology and functional design, which greatly improves our officers’ operational effectiveness and safety at the frontline.”

“Also gone were the days where we need to do photo-fit to get a rough idea of how our suspects look like! Today, our police cameras are able to provide useful leads quickly to help us solve cases.”

“And of course, as the society progresses, actions by the police on the ground will sometimes get scrutinised by the public. It is a challenge that we have to deal with, and I always share with my officers that as long as we remain professional and stay true to our core values in every case we handle, we will be fine.”

“SPF has provided me with many eye-opening experiences. I have seen and helped many people from different backgrounds, and that gives me great satisfaction. It was a fulfilling 39 years for me, and I would gladly do it all over again if given a choice!"

Thank you Supt Lim for your service, and congratulations to Clementi Police Division!
