I've been reading the first few posts posted dated 2009. Very informative yet wondering if there's any changes to the procedures for the selection assessment. I applied over the weekends and got a response from them through e-mail just yesterday that I have been shortlisted for the selection assessment for position Junior Police Officer. I am currently pursuing my Higher NITEC, have yet to be called for NS and made the decision to apply as I wish to sign on into SPF if successful. At the same time, further my studies through part-time while in the force.

Any kind souls can enlighten me on the selection assessment and what exactly I will need to prepare beforehand, in terms of the interview, other than preparing original and photocopy documents for the it.

Oh and, can I park my car inside the Home Team Career Centre?

Thanks, appreciate it.

Junior police officer selection assessment is much easier than senior police officer. The selection assessment includes psychometric test, physical test and then if those two goes well, u will be called up for interview. Interview successful, u will be notified.

Thanks, appreciate it. I have done my best to do some research of SPF and the role of JPO. All I need to do now is to be confident at the interview. Wish me luck for tomorrow!

Perhaps u will be given a chance to take IPPT again. But normally IPPT fail means goodbye.

Quick question - is joining the SPF as SPO at the age of 33 too old?
Or is it perhaps a better idea to join the SPF as a civilian analyst?

I read about the manpower crunch faced by the SPF and since its always been something I wanted to do (but never got around to doing it) since I was a young boy, I thought it would be quite a good time to do a mid-career switch and contribute to the nation's law and order.

Thanks!

Manpower crunch are mostly for Police Officers rather then Senior Police Officers & it does not mean they will just give more consideration to accept Citizens over PRs. They may even get help from Minister to push through Foreigners to be Police Officers or outsource more their jobs to Auxiliary Police Force.

SPF do consider mid career change professional. However at the age of 33, you start off as an INSP & may retires as an ASP. If you are lucky, you may retire as a DSP. If you are unable to secure SPO position with SPF, do consider for Auxiliary Police Inspector position. SPO are able to cross over more vocations & higher appointments while civilian analyst are limited to investigation & may only hold up to Dy OC or OC position.

Nah, 33 still okay, but chiu will lose out abit cos never start early. So miss out on promotions and increments and the Invest scheme.

Go in as SO, cos SO are treated much much better there. There is quite a lack oso for SOs because they will always require fresh SOs for IB as SOs will hold multiple postings. Ish at the point alot of "SO post" actually got acting Station Insp etc. Whole SPF got manpower crunch.

Promotion wise I don't think so jialat retire as ASP. Unless sway.

But SO selection quite stringent ah, like JO oso. Not just anybody get in. There's still interviews and background screenings. So don't jump in without plan B.

civilian officer no police powers. I don't think will hold OC powers unless over other civilian officers.

Guys i just got a letter to come down for SPO assessment on 28th. Thing is i havent done ippt for the past 4 years whilst I was in UNI and my last result was a fail. Ive trained up pretty well though during the 4 years and am pretty confident of a silver at least if i take but my SCDF window wont let me book till the next work year or something. I dont want to ruin my chance of being selected. Any advice from those who have been through selection?
