Making troop-level recalls for training and deployment have strengthened camaraderie across and between ranks, improved command, and increased our LandDivisions\u2019 capacity to fi ght crime and tackle security challenges. Feedback from PNSmen has been positive \u2013 being trusted by their TLs strengthens their purpose.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>\u2018D\u2019 Division\u2019s DSTF has directly contributed to a decline in shop theft rates. Its officers have frequently been First Responders, and many ground situations have been handled without Regular support. Crime rates and response times have decreased by 29 per cent from the previous year.<\/p>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\">\u2026being trusted by their TLS strengthens (our PNSmen\u2019s) purpose.<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]One notable case on 7 June was handled by its DSTF 6 during foot patrol at VivoCity as part of Mall Patrol anti-crime operations. A Theft-in-Dwelling complainant approached the officers, who immediately took action. They swiftly located and arrested the suspect, recovering merchandise with similar descriptions to lost\/stolen reports by multiple VivoCity shops earlier that day.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>At the Geylang Serai Bazaar, where deployment fully comprises PNSmen, the DSTF provides a formal structure in which PNSmen can publicly demonstrate their leadership. SC\/SGT1 Muhammad Arithzuan Ahman of \u2018G\u2019 Division was leading a patrol in June when he saw two large groups of people approaching each other in a threatening manner. Knowing things could quickly deteriorate, he led his team to intervene. \u201cWe saw that things were getting rowdy, so we proactively engaged them and instructed them to disperse,\u201d he says.<\/p>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_empty_space][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n<h4><span style=\"color: #993300;\">Other
