Hi,
I'm currently in the 2nd year of my degree course and I am super,
extremely interested to sign with the SPF as a SPO. I've read the
the previous post about the selection test thingy. Today, I
happened to open a Police magazine and I realised that the
graduating course is very very small. If there is alot of
applicants, that means the probability of me getting in is quite
slim.
1) I'm really interested to give the Police Security Command a
try and i need to serve as a police officer first before I'm able
to give a shot at PSC. I would like like to know how many intake
are there in a year. What is the percentage of getting in.
2) I've served as an Officer in Army and I am EOD (explosive
ordnance disposal aka bomb squad for layman term). WIll my chances
be higher?
First, you need to be accepted as a Senior Officer.
After which, you will serve a mandatory stint in investigation
branch in any of the land divisions.
Once this posting is done, you will be posted to become a
supervisor in one of the NPCs. Only after these two postings have
been completed can you apply for a post in Police Security
Command.
You don't have to worry about the intakes: Senior Officers get
to move around in the organization much, much, much more easily
than junior officers. As you approach the end of your supervisor
stint, you will be asked to apply for a staff posting. This is
where you can apply to go to whichever department you would like,
subject to approval of course.
Also, your background in the SAF will come in handy.
Hope this helps.
