The career of my choice is to be in the Singapore police force, Criminal Investigation Department. As I like the feeling and satisfaction of being in uniform group.I'm currently in NPCC, as a sec 3 cadet. My school life is interesting as the cca I’m in a cca of my choice, and would be of great help to me in the future if I’m choosing the career of my choice.
The job as a police officer is that we will be engaged in conducting criminal investigations, community policing, combating crimes among many other responsibilities. The job scope and challenges in the police life are endless. The requirements of a police officers is to have at least five o'level credits or nitec, certified medically fit, minimum height and weight for women is 1.57m and 45kg and men 1.62m and 54kg. He or she must a good eyesight and normal color vision, must be a Singaporeans or permanent resident. For male, there must be a physical fitness of PES A or B.The police officer-to-be would be attending a six month residential Police officers' basic course at the Home Team Academy, HTA, which is the headquarters of police department.
This course will equip the new officers with skills and knowledge in areas such as criminal laws, on-scene investigation, community policing, physical fitness, police defensive tactics, police procedures and weaponry. The officers will have the chance to be sent for further training to develop or improve his or her competencies.I won't mind to be prison officers too as it’s a job that enable me to do well and interacts with other people. The qualities of a prison officers is that he or she must be sharp and observant in assessing the progress of offenders, honest and have integrity , able to motivate offenders to respect discipline and authority, sensitive in working with inmates, keen interest in rehabilitative work and must be willing to learn. The entry requirements is a polytechnic diploma or A levels(sergeant) , at least five o'level passes(corporal), must be physically fit , height at least 1.57m for female and 1.62m for men, must have normal color vision and myopia not exceeding 800 degrees per eyes. Male applicants must have completed National Service with medical fitness of PES A or B.
But I think that all these requirement are not enough, a uniform group is supposed to be a good role model that other look up to, hence, such discipline group members have to be discipline, know what is right and wrong, know how to deal with problems and must have good character. If I’m certain that I want to be one of them, I would try my very best to train myself into a good role model for everyone and one that they will look up to.
