hard to replace, not impossible to replace.

Think of it as a test... If you might lose some certificates, than it is better not to entrust a gun to you...

If I've not served my National Service, can I apply?

Yes, you can. SPF will have to check with Central Manpower Base (CMPB) prior to your appointment for approval to release you from full-time National Service enlistment.

All male Singaporeans/ Singapore Permanent Residents who have not completed full-time national service must serve a minimum term of 5 years (known as Minimum Term of Engagement, MTE) as a regular officer so as to fulfil your full-time National Service obligation.

hello.

was reading the SPO thread and found lots of useful information on the selection assessment + interview process, plus the experiences shared helped alot in knowing what to expect.

i decided to reply here instead of the SPO thread as i recently applied for a PO position. hence it wld be more relevant here.

it was unfortunate that i stumble upon this forum after my selection assessment. nevertheless, i guess it is still not too late to voice several of my queries..

1) i understand that promotion from PO to SPO might take 10-12 years of service. even then, it is still not a certainty. i would like to know my options for career advancement after posting to a npp. aft how many months/years of service wld i have the opportunity to go for courses and what kind of courses wld that be?

and if i were to further my studies part time,say at sim for example.. can it be considered for a rank promotion?

2) also, i would like to eventually serve in CID. any thoughts/advice on how i cld go about getting there assuming i start from doing general police work at the npp?

3) lastly, is there a posting to the spf band after training at HTA or do they have a direct recruitment? what are their criteria and selection process like?

reply to any of the above queries is very much appreciated.. thanks! :)

1) Well, basically courses will be work-related. Either related to your current vocation, or various other modules as a whole. Work-related courses will be rather regular: either the whole team goes, or in other instances, you can volunteer yourself or sometimes get nominated instead.

For non-work-related courses, there are a variety to choose from. Usually, they will be conducted at Civil Service College. There will be a number of courses for you to look through anytime you want to. If there are courses that interest you, you can always apply to take them up.

If you would like to take up further studies at any institution, then do so by all means. There are also a couple of sponsored programmes, but these come with additional bonds. Studies will prove challenging, as it depends not only on your own time management but also your supervisor's understanding [and work constraints].

Having said that though, whenever you take up studies, irrespective of whether or not they are sponsored programmes, you will be made to understand that completion of the programme is not a guarantee of reimbursements, improved career prospects, or an increase in salary.

2) For postings to CID, you will need to start work at any land divisions first. After your stint in frontline policing, you will be required to go serve time in investigations brach, before you can apply for a place in CID. If you have connections, can go faster. But as a general guide, usually people get to go to CID after about ten or more years [without connections].

3) Before you pass out / graduate from your basic training, you will be asked to make your choices known, and they will send you out according to manpower requirements. You can apply to join the SPF band. Not so sure about requirements though. I don't think there is, to be honest.

my pleasure mate. Just helping out with what I can. Good to know that you're feeling more sure with each passing day. Just remember what it is that made you join, because if you get accepted, and if sometime in future you happen to be experience dark days on the job, those values / things will be the ones keeping you holding, and going, on.

Here's wishing you the best of luck. =)
