The Singapore Police Force is organising the Police Community Roadshows at four different locations across the island, over four consecutive weekends between 26 November 2016 and 18 December 2016. Please refer to Annex A for details of the roadshows.
The roadshows aim to raise awareness on police work with the emphasis on three areas: Real Work That Matters, Equipped to Succeed, and Community Leaders.
Members of the public were able to view equipment used by the frontline policing officers upfront, and experience the investigative work done by police officers, including fingerprint dusting using the Fingerprinting Kit. They also learnt more about policing work through the various exhibitions and demonstrations. Please refer to Annex B for the highlights of the roadshows.
