OBS trip is for Officer Cadet Trainees [OCTs], NSFs who will graduate as National Service Probationary Inspectors [NSPIs]. Training has since been reduced for this lot, from the previous 9 months to 8 months currently.

The Nepal Trip is for Senior Officer Trainees [SOTs], regulars who will either graduate from their 9-month course as Inspectors of Police or Assistant Superintendents of Police.

Big difference in training, pay, job scope, et al.

I see... thanks.

Tiggerific SG

I see... thanks.

My pleasure, mate. =)

Not too sure about CP rejecting people though, but I am keeping my fingers crossed for you mate.

And I do not know where people get their sources from, but senior officer trainees will be going to Nepal. It is part of their 9-month training, and a mandatory component at that.

All the best! =)

Thanks Tiggerific! I hope everything can go smoothly, keeping my fingers crossed too. >.<

Btw anyone know during which period would the SO trainees go for Nepal trip?

Tiggerific SG

Thanks Tiggerific! I hope everything can go smoothly, keeping my fingers crossed too. >.<

if I am not wrong, training for SO trainees is divided into three blocks of 3 months. Should be going for Nepal trip in the second block, i.e. 4th to 6th month I think.

Why is the police activated when there's a snake? are they snake catchers too?

Why is the police activated when there's a snake? are they snake catchers too?

Policemen are snake catchers, snake eaters, snake charmers (Those human snakes kind, where they need police presence to show some kinda decent charm.) & possibly snakes suppliers (For when the zoo needs some extra nourishment for their gibbons, or when the army commandoes need to show the recruits how to skin snakes.)

Tiggerific SG

technically, the Police should only be called in for cases when the snakes are venemous, because there is an immediate threat to life. if not, pestbusters or the zoo should be called in, as they are better trained to do the job.

but what to do... Police free mah. call Police no need to pay, unlike calling in pestbusters. If you call the zoo, the zoo will only ask you to call for Police.

So the end product is... everything also call Police. Primarily because they are free-of-charge.

Hi guys, went for the psychologist interview today, the psychologist told me for the last interview there will be a psychologist, the senior management and the HR people. So its not just the CP himself? And other than the interview, what else would be done for the last round? Anymore form filling? Just wanna make sure so that I wont be tat unprepared like I did for the character referees for the first round. Thanks.

Tiggerific SG

call to zoo, they will refer to police?

nope. if people call for Police, somehow the resource will still be sent down to the scene. even if, by right, Police should not be attending to the case e.g. instances of non-poisonous snakes.

Tiggerific SG

normally, panel interview will be just that. a conversation with the panel. just prepare yourself like how you normally would for interview sessions and you will be fine. =)

Hi guys, I have just received a sms from SPF today regarding my application for SPO, I was called up for a selection on the 22nd Jan 09 and I have some questions wondering if you guys can help me.

1. What is the selection test about?

2. Except my certs and documents, anything else that I need to bring?

3. What is the average waiting time for selection result?

4. I've heard that there are 2 interviews, so if I pass the first selection, what are the chances for me to pass the second? Because at the same time I have went for a teaching interview and I'm afraid if I pass my teaching interview, I would be asked to sign contract with MOE and which means I wont be able to join the SPF.

5. What is the recruitment ratio of SPO compared to PO? I've heard that the chances of getting recruited are very slim, is it so?

6. As I'm a lady, what is the recruitment ratio of police women compared to policemen? Are women at a disadvantage?

Thanks alot!

if i'm holding a hostage, or trying to suicide. i'd only talk to a really feminine female officer =)

all the best!

Yup. The resource will go down and refer to zoo.

Tiggerific SG

Yup. The resource will go down and refer to zoo.

erm... actually, no. once the resource is at scene, the resource will convey whatever animal it is, i.e. python / cobra / monitor lizard / iguana / squirrel / dog / cow etc to divisional headquarters, where the animal will be kept in custody. only after that will the animal be sent to the zoo, by the Police, unfortunately.

Q.C.Pak SG

Yup. The resource will go down and refer to zoo.

Not all snakes go to the zoo.

skythewood SG

yup, it will always refer to zoo...At which stage it will be refered to zoo varies for different division, and depending on animal.

If it is a tiger, resource will standby for zoo, and shoot it if necessary, etc... If it is monkey...

i think, if it is a tiger *touch wood*, the resource will still have to engage it if at scene. shoot / tase it if a threat to life is imminent. if not, just giving the tiger space, cordoning off the area and managing public order for that location will do.

anyway, my point is, if resource has been despatched and is at scene, they will still have to manage and resume once the incident is done. even if it is a matter best handled by external agencies, the police still have to pick it up once the call has been made. external agencies will always wait and / or come into the picture only after the end of the incident.

Sorry, OT abit, I just went for my selection assessment today. After filling in forms and psychometric test, then the personnel asked every1 to come back at 2pm. But when we got back, I got called the 2nd, and I was told I am done for the day and may leave. But others continued by having body checks etc. Does it mean I kena rejected already? Or still got chance I may still get called up? Paiseh to OT...
