My ambition is to become a Police Officer and I have written about my ambition in my previous blogs. I did a research on my career. There are a few qualifications required to join the police Force. Firstly, the applicants must be at least 18 years old with good eyesight, normal colour vision and must be medically fit. The educational requirements are the applicants must have at least 5 GCE 'O' level credits or NITEC Finally, the applicants must be a Singaporean or Singapore permanent resident. Corporal is the first rank that will be given to you when you join as a Police Officer. A Police Officer get promoted if he does his job sincerely and responsibly because he will impress his senior officer by doing his job properly. The next few ranks are Sergeant, staff Sergeant, senior staff Sergeant, station inspector, senior station inspector and finally, senior station inspector(2). The salary depends on the person's rank, educational level and whether the person have served his national service. Newly appointed police officer will be sent for 6-month police officer basic course at the police academy. This training will make the police officers mentally and physically fit.

The police officer can become a senior police officer if he or she have the qualifications required. The qualifications are all the same except for the educational requirements and national service they have served. In order to become a senior police officer, they must have graduated from university and must have a degree. They must have completed their full-time national service. The ranks are inspector, assistant superintendent, deputy superintendent, superintendent, deputy assistant commissioner, assistant commissioner and senior assistant commissioner. The officers will be promoted if their senior officer steps down. The senior police officer will attend the 9-month residential training programme at the police academy. Adding to this, they will be required to attend another 6 week of leadership programme.

There are some responsibilities for a police officer. A police officer must do his duties properly and correctly. He must respect the law and must have good discipline. Punctuality is a important value that a policeman must have. A policeman should be always punctual for his work unless other valid reasons. Senior police officers must be a role model for their juniors. Therefore, responsibility is important core value for a police officer.

I want to join the criminal investigation department. My ambition is to become a assistant commissioner and be role model for the other police officers. I will study hard and get a degree in law management and join the police force. I will do my job sincerely and responsibly and impress the senior officers to get my promotions. I will achieve my ambition in the future.http://www.spf.gov.sg/career/protect/index.htm

A video about career choice and national education was shown during my English lesson. The title of the video is "our global city, our home." The video was about Singaporeans choosing the right career path. The video had shown me that some Singaporeans are going aboard to study and work. My opinion is it is alright to study and work in overseas. However, Singaporeans should care for their country. If all Singaporeans go overseas, who will take care of Singapore? My opinion is by all means Singaporeans can go to overseas to study and work but they must come back to Singapore. It is their home and they belong here.

I have chose my ambition after seeing the video. My ambition was always to become a police officer. My ambition allows me serve my nation. My plan is to go overseas to study. However, I will come back to Singapore to serve my national service and join the Singapore Police Force. This will give me a sense of belonging.

There are many reasons for me to choose the police force. The first reason is I am very interested in criminal investigation. Therefore, I want to join the criminal investigation department. It may be a risky job but I still want to the police force. My second reason is the uniform of police force. It is a honour to wear the prestigious uniform. The design and colour of the uniform is very nice. The third reason is the benefits of joining the police force. The minimum qualification for joining the police force is at least a 'O' level certificate. However, if the education level is more higher, more benefits and a higher salary will be issued.

I have researched about the historical background of the Singapore Police Force. The police force was formed in 1819 with only 11 men in the force. The commandant of the force was Francis James Bernard. The salary for the men was only $300 monthly. The police force eventually upgraded itself and now, there is a well-trained police force in Singapore. http://www.spf.gov.sg/
