    INTRODUCTION

    The International Cooperation Department (ICD) was established as the staff authority on all international engagement efforts of the Singapore Police Force (SPF).

     

    MISSION

    To enhance SPF’s operational effectiveness, bolster continuous capability-building and strengthen our international standing through good relations forged with worldwide strategic partners.

     

    ROLES/FUNCTIONS

    ICD’s main roles are: 

    1. International Policy Division (IPD)

      2. IPD is the staff authority for SPF’s international engagement strategy which seeks to safeguard and promote SPF’s interests by forging enduring relations with foreign law enforcement agencies and securing areas of opportunities for cooperation. This is done through engagement efforts such as promotion of joint trainings, bilateral and multilateral meetings and cooperation and memorandums of understanding. With regular monitoring of regional and international developments, ICD ensures that SPF’s strategy keeps pace with national priorities and the international engagement efforts provide long-term strategic value to SPF.

    2. International Operations Division (IOD)

      3. IOD assumes the role of the INTERPOL National Central Bureau (NCB) in Singapore. NCB Singapore is the designated contact point with the INTERPOL General Secretariat, regional offices and the other 191 member countries on transnational police cooperation, including investigations and operations. It also serves as the gateway for exchange of security information and intelligence, as well as facilitation of cooperation, between SPF and local enforcement agencies with our foreign counterparts. As the staff authority on international operations, IOD provides guidance to SPF units on matters relating to cooperation with SPF’s foreign police counterparts on operations and investigation, and ensures alignment of SPF's international operations with international policies.

    3. Protocol & Administrative Services Division (PASD)

      4. PASD is the staff authority on all Protocol matters pertaining to major SPF ceremonies, events and visits. PASD ensures that the due order of precedence and procedures are observed in accordance to established international diplomatic formalities. Through relationship-building, PASD provides steadfast support in SPF's efforts to strengthen relationships with our foreign and local partners, both Police and non-Police, through the various platforms of diplomatic engagements.
