The Singapore Police Force is organising a series of five Police Community Roadshows in the heartlands to raise awareness on police work with the emphasis on three areas: Real Work That Matters, Equipped to Succeed, and Community Leaders. Please refer to Annex A for details of the roadshows.
The third roadshow was held at Toa Payoh HDB Hub from 3 to 4 December 2016 and 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.
The Guest-of-Honour, Mrs Josephine Teo (Senior Minister of State in Prime Minister’s Office, Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Ministry of Transport and Member of Parliament for Bishan-Toa Payoh GRC) also launched the Shoppers-On-Watch Community and Safety and Security Project (CSSP) at the third Police Community Roadshow on 3 December 2016.
Shoppers-On-Watch, which is in line with the SGSecure movement, serves as a platform for the public and retailers to learn how they can contribute to a safe and secure shopping environment. Shoppers are encouraged to be alert to suspicious behaviour, activities or articles and report to the retailers or Police so that timely actions could be taken to prevent, deter or detect crime and terror-related activities.
In addition, officers from Tanglin Division conduct training for shoppers and participating retailers on how they should respond when they come across a suspicious activity or article in a shop.
