Under AC Lim’s command, Bedok Police Division was awarded the ‘Best Land Division Award’ in 2020. AC Lim led his officers to solve major crimes and combat the rise in scams, while ensuring the smooth conduct of various major public safety and security operations such as the General Election 2020 and COVID-19 related deployments. Under his leadership, Bedok Police Division launched major community initiatives such as the Bedok Youth Carnival to promote Police-community bonds and stronger communities. AC Lim also modernised crime-fighting efforts through the use of technology and analytics, culminating in Bedok Police Division clinching the ‘Most Innovative Unit Award’ in 2020.
Reflecting on his tenure as Commander of Bedok Police Division, AC Lim said, “Beyond Bedok Police Division’s major achievements, it is the daily acts of service and sacrifice of the police officers that I will cherish. From putting themselves in harm’s way to protect the innocent, to caring for the vulnerable with grace and compassion, the men and women of Bedok Police Division have set an example that I have been proud of and that we all can be inspired by. I am also grateful for the support from our network of volunteers, as well as community and strategic partners. Today, thanks to their enduring commitment and cooperation, our neighbourhoods are safer and more secure.”
