Memorandum of Understanding
Singapore Police Force - New York City Police Department Training
Exchange Programme |
|
|
The Singapore Police Force's Commissioner of
Police Khoo Boon Hui and New York City Police Department's Police
Commissioner Raymond W. Kelly have signed a Memorandum of Understanding
(MOU) between the two forces to promote more effective law enforcement
in the interest of public safety for the residents of the Republic of
Singapore and New York City. |
|
The ceremony took place at 11am on 10 April
2006 in New York (Singapore Time: 11pm on 10 April 2006 ). |
|
Through the three-year MOU, both police
forces hope to strengthen cooperation in the areas of development
training and functional exposure of their officers under a training
exchange programme which may include operational attachments on an
observer status. The areas of mutual interest would include counter
terrorism, crime scene investigation, crisis negotiations and crowd
control techniques. |
|
NYPD and SPF share a good working
relationship of bilateral exchanges and knowledge sharing. Since May
2005, SPF has been hosting an NYPD officer on attachment to SPF units
such as the Criminal Investigation Department, Commercial Affairs
Department, Police Intelligence Department and Special Operations
Command. |
|
SPF also sent two delegations for an
attachment with NYPD, the first delegation comprised seven officers over
ten days in July 2005, and the second delegation would be for two
officers in April 2006. |
|
Commissioner Khoo said, ＾This MOU signifies
the common desire of both the Singapore Police Force and the New York
City Police Department to strengthen our bilateral ties and working
relationship. Formalising our training exchange programme will
facilitate greater exchange of information and sharing of best practices
between our two forces. I believe that both forces will benefit from the
experience." |
