The selection process pretty simple. morning will be psychometric test till about 12+. if you're done early then you could go for lunch. 1.30pm back for second half of the day. Then you will fill up a number of forms needed. it includes declaration of tattoos and particulars of yourself and family members bla bla. Then you will do a "english assessment" in which you will do a short essay on a topic. The one I did was on "what values do you have and why" something lidat. Last part of the day was verification of documents and physical check up. Then they will check whether you have any problems or not. docs to bring include those they asked for and also some certs from leaving secondary school which they did not include.

From then on, I starting on the waiting game and im currently going through a process of rejected jobs painfully.....................

i want to know the culture of work and work life in SPF. i am not a scholar, just 2nd lower degree with 2.8years mgt experiences. I have attended the board interview and subject to medical scheduled already. I believed I have a high chance entering as SPO as I told them I have to enter training ASAP due to my marriage next year. So quite confident.

what I am unsure now is I have no support from my girlfriend to allow me to join.. So was very upset, she thinks that once I join police our relationship will strain, baby plans will stall and no time spend together after telling her the working shifts.

i Duno this kind of life will be how long because it takes about 3-4 years to do staff posting.?? No one knows.... And after staff posting working hours might be irregular too? I have many tonnes of questions and all these were being addressed before all the first few interviews.. but i wanna hear from a SPO or a regular here the lifestyle and whether can a regular upkeep his family ties and relationship.. Baby plans etc.

I heard especially IO tour is keep clearing cases and shift is also like junior PO?

say next year late wedding, training will disrupt my plans if unless I enter in August intake...

What if one day I wanna leave the force due to commitment to family, low progression and promotion, will I regret one day that my experience is irrelevant to outside world... So many worries.. Many ex officer went to crop security, compliance in Pte sector or even as some mgt level in Mindef or security related job but for sure their reason of leaving and get pay cut is due to?
Many said degree sign on is good..

Brother, I'm not a SPO or regular, so you decide if you want to hear me out. End of the day, it is a matter of priorities, which is more important to you? Your family (and wife-to-be), your aspirations to be a police officer, or are they both equally important? But this is not a MCQ question, you can choose either one or you can choose both, it depends on how you manage yourself and your time.

As far as I know, jobs like a SPO with SPF are very heavy on commitment and they will expect nothing less from you. What to do, the security of Singapore has to be in capable, committed hands. So family support is very important, especially from your immediate family.

Find out why exactly your gf don't support you, if she is afraid that time away will strain your relationship, then the onus is upon you to ensure her otherwise. If she is concerned about safety (like my family), the last reported death in the line of duty due to felonious attacks is in the 1970s, nowadays the deaths are mostly due to traffic accidents.

You have to make your own decisions la, all jobs also have their pros and cons.

lemme answer you.

SPO. first posting wise will be Investigating Officer. Depending on manpower in your team, usually it could be 4 x 12 hours shift or more (day or night) per mth. dont bank on 12hrs. it is usually 14 hours or more.. after shift do report, finish up investigations. When not on shift, u will be following up your investigations.. U will be posted as an IO for maybe 1-2 years.

After that, you will be posted to NPC to be a Team leader. 12hrs shift. but it will be 14hrs or more. NPC shift is 8am to 8pm ad 8pm to 8am. Report 1hr earlier at 7. and your could even report off 2-3hrs after 8pm. and you will be there for mayb 2 years. working shift will be day night off off.

After close to 4 years of torture, then you will be able to relax a little when u r posted to office hours.

relationship wise, if your partner is not understanding or those that demand lots of attention, good luck to you. for all police officers, there is an unspoken rule tht is, to never make advance plans.
