Hi all,

Thanks for this thread, it has been really helpful! Anyway, I just got called up for SA after 2 months from my application date. That's a long wait but I kinda expected it after reading this forum. Wanna ask, my email stated that it is half-day for me only. Why is that so? From what I read here, all of you seemed to have gone (is going) for a full day SA...

It seems that the structure has changed. Mine was indeed half day, ended about 12pm. I remember last time was psychometric+physical assessment then next round is dialogue. Currently is english essay+physical assessment, next round will be the psychometric+dialogue. English essay questions are at random, different sets of questions are given out. Will update again on my progress..

Hi all, Im new here! I have submitted my application around late nov last year, currently pending for the call up for the first interview. Feeling kinda nervous about it. Anyway, I would like to ask what are the usual essay topics that would be tested for the interview apart from the core values and aspirations and goals? Would appreciate if someone could give your advice on this! :)

The email states half day. What did you do for the whole duration until 4pm?

Psychometric tests already took whole morning. After lunch was essay and check docs and body check up. This was the plan last year, looks like things have changed haha

Songsz SG

The email says it's going to be physical assessment and verification of documents that's all!

@Justinrandom good luck to us đ

@noel.91

@Songsz yeaps good luck to us! We would need a whole lot of thatđđ

Anyone who went for the selection assessment like me on 11jan? Waiting game strong.. Until now still no news. :(

Ray92 SG

Hi guys, may I know if they will consider previous PES status in their selection?

I was graded PES AL1 during NS, but because of hyperthyroidism, I got downgraded to PES E9L9 for one year. Awaiting PES reassessment in two weeks. Hopefully I can get upgraded to at least a B.

So for now, I can't even apply yet :(

And how long will they take to even start contacting you after your application?

Hi All

If you are really passionate about policing or want to find out more, please join the VSC.

https://www.hometeamvolunteers.gov.sg/htvms/web/volunteerspecialconstabulary-individualpoliceofficer

We have many VSCs who joined and understood about the demands of the job and applied to be a Direct Entry Inspector. Puts you in better stead for the interviews too!

To apply to be a VSC

Stage 1 - Psychometric Assessment

Stage 2 - Interview

Stage 3 - Medical Examination

Classes are usually on Monday & Thursday 6.30pm to 10pm at Home Team Academy, where you will learn Criminal Law, Shooting and Police Defensive Tactics. :)

Advice to All.. If you are applying to be a DEI - Direct Entry Inspector (They no longer call SPO - Senior Police Officer now as scheme has changed), do be prepared that the interview process takes about 6 months. Hence, go find a part-time job or something. Which is why I'll will suggest you join the VSC first ;)

swisssaints SG

Just wondering though,

Currently pursuing psychology in unisim part time. What is the pay scale like for SPO? Is it dependent on the degree classification? Because on their website, they only mentioned about the range for the different ranks like Inspector and ASP.

How to know if rank is going to be inspector or ASP? Is it based on honours classifications also? I saw on CNB website that their first class and 2nd upper starting pay is 3.7k though with ASP rank.

Also, from SPO can choose preferred department? Because I'm highly interested in K9.

you cant choose your department.. First few years up to TL posting its pretty dependent on manpower requirement.

Hi @gavintan138 and @Shilin,

I will be going for my panel on 6 dec. A little nervous about it cause from what i read, there are people who got rejected at this round despite going through the various stages. What were both of your experiences like at this stage? did they ask alot of situational questions? I'm hoping to be able to be in for the first intake for 2017.

Have you cleared your Board Interview? It wont be so fast because you will still have to go for Medical and the letter of offer signing takes about a month (usually longer) after your Medical.. =X

Hi everyone, for mid career change, are the chances of getting into spf senior officer role equal as those who sign on before their NS or those that sign on straight after they graduate from uni? Early 30s here and still doing my Ict and clearing my ippt. So fitness wise I think I am still good lol

By the way, anyone here did a mid career change to spf and successfully join the force?

Yes its equal.

My friend (First class honours) who is born in 1985 just went in HTA and the formula they use to calculate for mid careers is different, where he got an increment from his last drawn. I am born 1987 and awaiting my offer letter :) Hope SPF can match mine too! Only thing different is my friend is from a stat board and I am from the Finance Industry (Pte sector).

Hello everyone :)

I understand that this thread are for those who applied for Senior police officer. However, I would like to ask if anyone knows if senior and junior police officers go through the same training intake or a different one.

Also I had been waiting ever since my medical on 22aug :( those who emailed them how did y'all went about in your email? Should I just enquire on my application or did y'all ask other questions too.

Thanks in advance :)

Nopes, different training. the courses are different. DES - Direct Entry Sergeants focuses more on POBC - Police Officer Basic Course and GRF - Ground Response Force modules while for DEI, there are more elements of Command / Investigation modules.

DEI 9 months training consists of:

(POBC)

(NPC GRF)

(Law Module)

(Investigation)

(Leadership)
