2.1 Adjusting To Community Living 

Discipline is an important element of Police training. The Singapore Police Force, 

being a uniformed organization, emphasizes on the importance of learning, 

training and living as a team. Community living is, therefore, part and parcel of 

Police life. However, you will be able to adapt quickly to the new environment. 

A comprehensive orientation programme will be organised during the fi rst week of 

your Basic Police Training to help you adjust to your new environment smoothly. 


02 Chapter 

Daily life in the dormitory Recreational Time 

Your Course Manager (CM) will be present to guide you along throughout 

the course. 

Should you face any problems regarding training matters or any personal issues that 

you wish to resolve, do not hesitate to approach your CM for advice, counselling or 

guidance at The Home Team Academy. 

You are strongly encouraged to interact with your fellow trainees to establish 

esprit-de-corps. This is important for your Police training and future operational 

work. Your stay in the Home Team Academy will also be more enjoyable.

2.2 Personal Health And Hygiene 

In community living, it is important to 

observe personal hygiene and cleanliness 

as you will be living in close proximity 

with your fellow trainees in the dormitory. 

You should 

• Bathe regularly 

• Keep your fi ngernails short and clean 

• Brush your teeth and shave daily 

• Maintain a clean set of clothing 

• Change your undergarment daily 

Resting well for training ahead 

Living conditions in the Academy is defi nitely conducive for training, which usually 

ends at 1730hrs. Trainees can, therefore, be assured of suffi cient sleep every night. 

It is also important to have enough rest every day so that you can be well prepared 

for training the following day. 

If you sustain any injuries during training, you must inform your Field Instructor 

immediately. You should also inform your Field Instructor if you are not feeling 

well. He will arrange for you to seek medical treatment at the HTA Medical Centre.

appearance gives the public a good impression of the Singapore Police Force.

conducted. Your Field Instructor will brief you on the set of uniform required for 

the different training sessions.

4.1 Training Safety Regulations 

In SPF, we treat our people as our most 

valued asset. The safety of our offi cers 

during training is given special attention. 

The SPF Training Safety Management 

System has achieved the Occupational 

Health and Safety Assessment Series 

Standard (OHSAS) 18001 since Mar 

2008. 

04 

Training & 

Development Chapter 

Safety Inspection 

The specifi c measures are: 

a. Training Safety Regulations (TSR) 

The TSR spell out the safety requirements for training activities and there is a TSR 

manual which covers all training activities. There is a committee dedicated to the 

review of the TSR to ensure that the manual continues to remain relevant. 

b. Safety Measures During Training 

• The Commander of Training Command, with a dedicated team of Training 

Safety Offi cers, personally oversees the trainees’ training safety in Training 

Command. Trainers are specially trained and qualifi ed to ensure the safety of 

their trainees. 

• You will be briefed on training safety by the Training Safety Offi cers soon after 

enlistment. Training safety briefi ng will also be conducted by the trainers prior 

to the commencement of any training activity to ensure all participants are aware 

of the safety requirements. Trainers are required to check if trainees are feeling 

unwell before they commence any physical training activity. If any trainee 

feels unwell during physical training, trainers will also cease training for 

that particular trainee. 

• There is also an in-house medical centre in HTA to provide medical treatment 

whenever the need arises. 

• Safety equipment such as goggles, muffl ers and gloves, where applicable, will 

be utilized. There are also systems in place to ensure training equipment, including 

safety equipment, is in working condition. 

Training & Development 21

c. Medical Fitness 

Anyone who is selected for a training 

course will be medically examined to 

ensure that he is fi t enough to attend 

the course. 

d. Investigation of Training Related Accidents 

Safety audits are conducted to ensure all training conducted is in compliance with 

the TSR. 

Training Safety is every offi cer’s responsibility. While the Commander strives to 

ensure a safe training environment, there is also personal responsibility on your 

part. You should: 

• Report sick if you are unwell, especially before strenuous exercise. 

• Hydrate yourself by drinking suffi cient water the night before any activity or 

during the water breaks given during training. 

• Report to your trainer if at any time during training, you are not feeling well. 

• Try to get enough rest whenever you can. 

22 

If you are not feeling well, the onus is on you to inform your trainer. 

Although SPF makes every effort to ensure your safety during training, the effort 

will pay off well when you exercise personal responsibility for your own safety.

Security & Discipline 

5.1 Security 

On your enlistment day, you will be briefed on the security precautions and asked 

to make a statutory declaration on security. Henceforth, you must not divulge any 

information concerning Police matters to the media or any unauthorized personnel. 

A punishable offence under Section 17 of the Offi cial Secrets Act (Chapter 213) 

would be committed if a person has in his possession any secret offi cial information: 

• Communicates directly or indirectly any such information to any 

unauthorized persons 

• Uses any information in any manner prejudicial to the safety or interest 

of Singapore 

• Fails to take reasonable care to safeguard the confi dentiality of such information 


05 Chapter 

Affi rmation of Allegiance

5.2 Discipline 

Discipline is vital to every Police Offi cer. A Police Offi cer has to be disciplined to 

carry out his duties effectively. Some examples of breaches of Police discipline are: 

• Sleeping on duty or leaving a place of duty while on sentry or patrol without 

having been relieved 

• Insubordination 

• Being Absent Without Offi cial Leave (AWOL) 

• Failing to comply with any lawful order or negligently performing any lawful 

duty or order 

• Rendering or keeping oneself unfi t for duty 

• Damaging, destroying, losing, misappropriating or wastefully expending 

SPF property 

• Drinking alcohol or smoking whilst on duty 

• Possessing, smoking, or consuming any dangerous, prohibited or controlled drugs 

• Engaging in any trade or employment without the permission of the 

Commissioner of Police while being a full-time NS Offi cer 

If you commit any criminal offences, you will be prosecuted in Court and subject to 

severe punishment which may include imprisonment, caning or both. 

Security & Discipline 29

30 

5.3 Alcohol and Cigarettes 

Trainees are forbidden to bring or 

consume alcohol or cigarettes within 

the compound of the Home Team 

Academy. Anyone caught possessing 

alcohol or cigarettes would have 

committed a serious breach of Police 

Discipline. 

5.4 Drug Offenders 

All servicemen convicted of drug and 

inhalant abuse will have their offences 

recorded at the Criminal Records 

Offi ce of the Criminal Investigation 

Department (CID). These are serious 

offences and those caught abusing or 

traffi cking in controlled substances will 

be severely dealt with in accordance 

with the law. 

Trainees who have drug-related 

problems should approach their CM 

who will assist in making the necessary 

arrangements for them to undergo 

rehabilitation. 


5.5 Absent Without Offi cial 

Leave (AWOL) 

A serviceman is guilty of going ‘AWOL’ 

if he fails to turn up for duty or training 

without any offi cial leave or good 

cause. Depending on the length of the 

AWOL period, the serviceman could 

be dealt with either departmentally or 

prosecuted in court. 

As a Police Offi cer, you are entrusted 

with the internal security of the nation. 

Any serviceman who goes AWOL is 

betraying this trust placed in him. 

AWOL is a serious offence and offenders 

can be placed in the Detention Barracks, 

fi ned or sentenced to jail. The time spent 

being AWOL, in Detention Barracks or 

prison will not count towards full-time 

National Service liabilities. In addition, 

you will not be entitled for NS Allowance 

during your period of AWOL, Desertion 

or imprisonment. 

There is no excuse for going AWOL. 

If you have any problems, you should 

approach your CM or Field Instructor 

for help. They will be able to give you 

advice, and if necessary, refer the matter 

to a higher authority.

5.6 Provost and Discipline Branch 

The Provost and Discipline Branch is responsible for the investigation of all 

complaints against Police National Service personnel for any service offences which 

may involve AWOL, desertion or other serious breaches of discipline. 

All offences will be dealt with on a case-by-case basis, depending on the gravity 

of the offences. 

For disciplinary offences, the offender may be dealt with through a Police Disciplinary 

Inquiry. The Disciplinary Offi cer may recommend the following punishments to be 

meted out against the PNS offender: 

• detention for a period not exceeding 40 days; 

• reduction in rank, grade or seniority; 

• forfeiture of up to 14 days’ allowance; 

• reprimand; 

• stoppage of leave; 

• restriction of privileges; 

• extra duty; 

• caution 

In addition to above 

• Fine up to $200 (Inspector and below) 

Offenders who receive a reprimand or caution may also be required to undergo 

General Duties (GD) Re-training in PNS Department conducted by the GD Retraining 

Unit. This is to reinforce discipline and provide counselling to the offenders. 

Security & Discipline 31

32 

5.7 Seeking Redress 

A serviceman who believes that he has been victimized or treated unjustly by his 

colleagues or superiors can lodge his complaint either with his CM or the Field 

Instructors. If complaints are proven to be valid, the Singapore Police Force will take 

necessary action against the offenders. 

A serviceman shall not seek redress through a third party outside the Singapore 

Police Force. There is the danger that by going through third parties, there is a risk 

of leaking classifi ed or protected information. Such disclosures are considered an 

offence under the Offi cial Secrets Act, (Chapter 217) and the serviceman may face 

legal consequences. 

As a Police National Service Offi cer, you should seek redress and / or channel your 

queries, grievances / issues on matters relating to Police National Service through 

your immediate supervisor to:

6.6 Disruption For Study 

PNSFs may be granted disruption for studies under the following circumstances: 

Disruption To Repeat First Education Bar Course 

PNSFs who sat for but failed to obtain their fi rst education bar qualifi cation, which 

is defi ned as GCE ‘A’ levels, Polytechnic Diploma or an equivalent qualifi cation, 

may be granted disruption, for a period not exceeding one year, within the fi rst 

six months of enlistment to repeat their studies on a full-time basis. However, 

this provision will not be granted to PNSFs who have already obtained their fi rst 

education bar to improve their results. 

a. To repeat in an MOE school 

i. PNSFs who studied in MOE schools are allowed one repeat in MOE schools 

only. They have to produce a document from MOE to show that they have been 

admitted to repeat their studies in MOE schools. They will not be granted 

disruption to repeat their studies in a private school or for self studies. 

ii. They have to satisfy the repeat criteria. 

b. To repeat in a private school 

i. PNSFs will be allowed one repeat 

if they are 18 years old and below as 

at the date of commencement of the 

repeat, or were previously studying 

‘A’ levels in a private school. 

ii. They have to satisfy the repeat criteria. 


Disruption for Tertiary Studies 

MINDEF provides suffi cient opportunities for NS-liable males to attain up to fi rst 

education bar qualifi cations before enlistment, subject to the deferment cut-off 

age criteria. A fi rst education bar is defi ned as GCE ‘A’ level, Polytechnic diploma 

and equivalent qualifi cations. Disruption will hence be restricted only for PNSFs 

to pursue a higher level educational qualifi cation, such as an advanced diploma, 

associate degree or degree course. 

Only courses conducted by the 

educational institutions which confer 

their own qualifi cations are allowed. 

For example, a PNSF will not be allowed 

disruption to pursue a foreign degree 

course conducted by the Singapore 

Institute of Management (SIM) since the 

qualifi cation is not conferred by SIM. 

Disruption is only considered on the basis of equity to allow those from the same 

school cohort but enlisted in the later intake, to proceed for further studies at the 

same time as those enlisted in the earlier intake. Disruption will not be granted to 

PNSFs who are enlisted ahead of their age cohort with equivalent qualifi cations as 

the basis of disruption is to maintain cohort equity. 

Minimum Service Period 

The earliest date that PNSFs can disrupt is on the 1st of the month that they 

complete the minimum service period stipulated in the table below, or one week 

before the start of term for local studies (two weeks before the start of term for 

overseas studies), whichever is later. 

Disrupted PNSFs are required to serve their remaining full-time NS in one continuous 

period immediately upon completion of studies. 

PNSFs must submit their applications for disruption, together with documentary proof, 

to Head NSF PNSD through their respective Head PNS for approval three months prior 

to their date of disruption. Late or incomplete application may be rejected.
