SINGAPORE - A new programme will let residents meet their neighbourhood’s police officers more regularly, rather than mainly in passing on the street and during crises.
Launching the initiative at the Police Community Roadshow at One Punggol on Saturday, Senior Minister and Coordinating Minister for National Security Teo Chee Hean said Singapore’s reputation as one of the safest countries in the world is built on the trust between the police and the community. Police usually engage specific groups such as youths, residents and workplaces with targeted intention and messaging, said director of SPF’s Community Partnership Department, Assistant Commissioner of Police Shng Yunn Chinn.“We wanted a platform to let members of public approach us easily in a very convenient and accessible manner, just to build trust and for them to have deeper conversations with us,” he said.
From June to September 2022, police officers from three NPCs - Sengkang, Geylang and Bukit Timah - engaged over 230 residents from all walks of life at fast food outlets, hawker centres and coffee joints in their community. SPF’s Director of Community Partnership Department, Assistant Commissioner of Police Shng Yunn Chinn , said “Coffee with a Cop” allows the police to build trust with the public.
