no harm trying, i believe they need alot of manpower

With a Diploma, you can only sign up for SGT & not INSP even if you are a commission officer in SAF.

However if you sign up for Auxiliary Police Force, you can apply for INSP position.

Auxiliary Police Force is definitely out of the question.
No offense. But why join Auxiliary Police Force when SPF is much more "respected"?

Yeah... I agree. Thanks

I totally agree and personally know a few who joined Cisco and aetos cos they got rejected by the force..trust me they are just there for the money..but enjoy what they are doing....that's a big question mark..

I see people cannot enter SPF so they join Auxiliary Police Force (APF) first for years before reapplying for SPF.

APF only focus on security while SPF have other focus such as Investigation. In this case, APF have more work life balance because only needs to focus on your working hours (and you get OT pay for Junior Officer which make your gross salary similar to Senior Officer salary & much higher compare to your SPF Junior Officer peer).

SPF have a lot of 'after working hours' duties like ambush suspects/illegal actively to arrest them for investigation. There are things that demotivated you to do 'after working hours' are attending briefing & meeting with grassroots leaders & CC/RC activities such as informing them that the crimes happen most in your neighborhood is 'missing slippers' & explain to them that things that are left outside your house may not be consider as stealing unless there is a break in case inside your house. To make thing worst, you are not pay OT or even time off from 'after working hours' duties to start your normal duty immediately like NPCO which is the reason why sometime you see sleepily officers on duty.

Can share what is 'respected' these days?

Join CISCO and try standing at the Bank for full 8 hours doing nothing. You definitely have a different perspective of looking at SPF job.

 

[Kyoji83]

APF not only CISCO & their assignments not only limited to guard the bank. Mostly those guard the bank are Malaysians. There are APF jobs such as vehicle escorting & etc.

Depend on perspective come with knowledge or not. I everyday see PO at desk facing computer doing nothing. I only see PO seat at car patrolling like never do other thing. However are all these 100% fact? The answer is no because I work with them before. Last time, my friends & I hope to join JO when we are young. We hope to apply & be posted to a police post near our houses while cycling to patrol everyday. We even talk to JOs when they patrol past us at night (we are all night owl). However when we grow older, we know that it does not work this way.

Hehe, if I see the dark side of Police Force as SO, I may become like Singham. J/K.

[Kyoji83]

Yup...Unfortunately, i agree. What is "respected" these days?

Anyway, thanks for your invaluable insight.

Mind sharing how you know these details so much? what is your experience?
ex-SPF regular?

 

[Kyoji83]

I have friends who are NSmen (EX-REG & Ex-NSF) & maybe some are still in the force. Due to my scope of work in security industry, I needs to work with them. Therefore I have some basic knowledge on SPF & APF.

I see. Thanks

In your humble opinion, for a 30 years old dude, is it too old to sign on SPF?

 

[Kyoji83]

IPPT maybe a problem for you. You sign on as SGT & 5 years later still a SGT unless you stay in the force for awhile more to be consider for SSG, can tahan listen to order from youngster?

You may also be outcast for promotion to make way for young PO career advancement if both your performance is the same because you start late by 10 years compare to fresh diploma graduates. There are chances that these group of youngsters will become SSI or even SO in the future compare to you. So Management will stereotype that your 'motivation' level is not career advancement in term of rank promotion but rather 'stable job with income'.

Are you ready for all these ****?

Damn!!! Hard truths siol!!!
Yes... You're 100% correct. Joining SPF for stable job with income.

I work in a local bank currently. Hard truth is lots of people will be losing their job soon within 3-5 years. The data i see is very scary and does not tally what the mainstream media is saying. Those upcoming Diploma & Uni grads (majority of them) will have difficulty finding job.

So, i'm jumping a "slow sinking ship" now. Looking for a small stable raft to stay afloat.

All i can say is if you're NOT a civil servant, BE PREPARED. BE PREPARED. BE PREPARED.

Anyway, for you personally, have you seen with your own eyes of anyone or heard someone you know who join SPF late like me?

Cause i dont mind taking orders from youngsters & being outcast because from my own working experiences, I've taken orders from youngster and got outcast before.

Let's say if signing without diploma but younger like 23-24, then apply for part-time dip while working.

In your opinion, will this be more advisable career advancement route than study one shot till about 26-27yo then sign?
