My future career is to become a police officer. In order to become a police officer, I have to join the Singapore Police Force. There are many reasons for choosing this career path. The three main reasons are I like to do investigations, I like the design and the color of the uniform and I am very interested in this career. I like to do investigations because it is interesting to solve mysteries and by unlocking mysteries, truth can be found. Therefore, I am very eager to join the criminal investigation department. Secondly, I like the design and color of the prestigious uniform. Blue color was my all time favorite color. Therefore, the uniform has impressed me a lot. I am aware that this career is a risky job. However, I still prefer to join the Singapore Police Force.


The Singapore Police Force has a historical background. 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 officers was only $300. Gradually, the Singapore Police Force was built up. Now, we have a police force with 38,587 men in the force. From a force with 11 men in the 1819 is now transformed into a force with 38,587 men. The Singapore Police Force currently has 15 staff departments and 13 line units.

There are a few qualifications required for this career. The applicant for this job must have minimum height of 1.62m and minimum weight of 54kg. The applicant must have good eyesight and normal color vision. The applicant must be at least 18 years old and certified medically fit. The minimum educational requirement is at least 5 GCE ‘O’ level credits or NITEC. Applicants with less than 5 GCE ‘O’ level credits will be considered on a case-by-case basis. I am planning to finish my GCE ‘O’ level examination and continue my further studies. My aim to get a degree in law management before joining the police force. I will have to achieve this by studying hard and do well in my examinations.

The police force has two main groups of officers. They are police officers and senior police officers. The police officers group has the ranks like corporal, sergeant, staff sergeant, senior staff sergeant, station inspector, senior station inspector and senior station inspector(2). The senior police officers group has ranks such as inspector, assistant superintendent, deputy superintendent, superintendent, deputy assistant commissioner, assistant commissioner and senior assistant commissioner. I always wanted to reach the rank of superintendent. In order to achieve that, I have to do my job properly and get a good conduct from the senior police officers.

The Singapore police force will still be present in the next decade. As you know, internal security is very important for a nation. For our country, we need internal security in order to prevent crimes. We need responsible and sincere police officers to uphold law and order. Therefore, the policeman career will still be relevant in the next 10 years.
