police selection assessment

[Kyoji83]

Hard to comment because nowadays Full time & Part Time Polytechnic Diploma are different standard. However if you are below Polytechnic Diploma, you start off as CPL. Even you got additional certificate like Diploma or Degree during your service, you will not get auto promotion. This mean that after 5 years of service, you are still a CPL & have to wait for awhile more for promotion to SGT. Is this what you expect for career advancement?

My advice to you is study all the way to degree & apply for SO position. However the ball game is different because you needs to compete with other degree holders for SO position & you no longer will be consider for PO position by SPF.

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?

So far I only see degree holder enter SO position at 30+ year old & not PO. But I do see 30+ year old get selected for JO 'tests' together with me (That information is more then 10 years back & I did not even get selected for interview).

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.

Wah!!! 10 years ago was long time ago boss.
I was hoping for a very recent case study.

Guess the bottom line is, Get a Degree!

Anyway, Thanks for your input. Very helpful indeed.

How's the selection assessment like for now? Wanna join the force at a later time as currently still studying. Will the chances of getting selected lower at 26-27yo?

I misunderstood your point as joining younger will have better career advancement

Anyone have any idea why spf HR they asked for CPF contribution from applicant?

 

[Kyoji83]

Background verification. So if you lie about your experience or salary, they can reject you or even charge you for false declaration.

yes you can, when is your ord date? If it's nearing, I think you should wait till you ord first.

 

[Kyoji83]

You are a trained PO for NS. What kind of additional training you still need for signing on to be deployed for duty?

You have not went for bond signing which is the reason why you go for appointment formalities session.

Please wake up your idea!

Signing after you ord will have a higher salary when you join the force. After you apply, you might have to go for interview/s and medical check up. Not sure if it will be difficult for you to take off yea.

Hey hi, I think you should definitely find out more about the force. Yes, you will say that you want to be a policeman, but do you know the job scope? Or do you know which department you want to go to? I think you shld find out more about the force and at the same time, more about yourself. Like what's your strengths and weaknesses.. Why do you want to join the force? Tell me more about yourself? For the attire, I think it will be better for you to wear shirt and black pants(office look). This will show that you respect the interview.
