INTRODUCTION

Police Intelligence Department (PID) has its roots in the Criminal Intelligence Unit (CIU) of the Criminal Investigation Department (CID) which was set up on 1 April 1973 to support CID's investigations. To reap greater synergies and for better intelligence collation across the entire SPF, the CIU was revamped and upgraded to a division of CID in October 1988. It subsequently grew to become a full-fledged Department on 28 March 1996. That marked the tremendous progress of the unit over the years and reflected the importance of Intelligence alongside Investigation and Operations as the 3 key pillars of policing towards effective law enforcement.
