To make this experience less daunting, the NS IPPT Taskforce was established in March this year, aiming to improve the overall IPPT programme for Singapore Police Force (SPF) NSmen. The team is focused on supporting NSmen throughout their National Service (NS) journey, from the first recall to the 10<sup>th<\/sup> cycle, by creating fitness initiatives and leveraging technology to optimise resources and communications.<\/p><p>One of the four team leaders of the IPPT Taskforce, DSP (NS) Luqman Nulhakim bin Abdul Manan \u2014 who is also the NS Head of Operations (PCG) (KAH) \u2014 is an exercise physiologist in his civilian role, with extensive experience in creating fitness programmes tailored to individual health needs. Using his expertise, he ensures that all NS IPPT Taskforce initiatives are rooted in sports science.<\/p><p>\u201cWe&#8217;ve noticed a decline in fitness levels among NSmen,\u201d Luqman shared. \u201cBalancing desk-bound jobs, unhealthy food options, and busy schedules can make it hard for NSmen to prioritise fitness.\u201d His goal is to shift the mindset around fitness by fostering proactive fitness habits among NSmen and encouraging a more health-conscious culture within the force.<\/p><p>\u201cI can address the time management challenges NSmen face when balancing training with work and family responsibilities, ensuring they know that the IPPT initiatives are here to support them, not burden them,\u201d he added.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-d21aaa1 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"d21aaa1\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1400\" height=\"934\" src=\"https:\/\/www.hometeamns.sg\/frontline\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/VFT_06ed.jpg\" class=\"attachment-full size-full wp-image-42096\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.hometeamns.sg\/frontline\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/VFT_06ed.jpg 1400w, https:\/\/www.hometeamns.sg\/frontline\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/VFT_06ed-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.hometeamns.sg\/frontline\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/VFT_06ed-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.hometeamns.sg\/frontline\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/VFT_06ed-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.hometeamns.sg\/frontline\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/VFT_06ed-1200x801.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1400px) 100vw, 1400px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-9ad98a0 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"9ad98a0\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><em>NSmen participating in a workout session, following instructions from the VFT series.<\/em><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-c6df2db elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"c6df2db\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">BRINGING FITNESS TO YOUR SCREEN<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-644642d elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"644642d\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>One major obstacle to fitness training is access to skilled personnel.

The course covers essential topics such as the SPF training system, risk assessment and management, adherence to SOPs and TSRs, and basic exercise principles. Since its inception, 11 courses have been conducted, training 306 officers across SPF units as of November 2024. Feedback has been overwhelmingly positive, underscoring the course\u2019s impact on enhancing safety awareness and expanding participants\u2019 knowledge. Moving forward, a &#8220;Train-the-Trainer&#8221; initiative is planned to enable units to independently train and refresh their TMS pool.<\/p><p>Units who have trialled the VFT have reported that it is easy to implement, with many NSmen incorporating these exercises into their own workout routines outside of ICT. \u201cOne NSman shared that VFT made him realise he didn\u2019t need a gym full of equipment to stay fit. That\u2019s exactly the mindset shift we wanted,\u201d recounted Luqman.<\/p><p>SUPT (NS) Abdul Haireel bin Abdul Haleem, another NS IPPT Taskforce member, leveraged on his experience as NS Head of Training to pilot the VFT programme in selected divisions, paving the way for SPF-wide implementation by January 2025. His role as NS Head Manpower, Admin, Logistics (\u2018J\u2019 Division) (KAH), also gave him valuable insights into ensuring resources like equipment and personnel are available to support these IPPT programmes.<\/p><p>\u201cThe flexibility and autonomy of these video sessions allow officers to train at their own pace after receiving guidance,\u201d said Haireel. Though initial technical challenges arose, solutions were developed in collaboration with platform developers, making VFT more adaptable to individual fitness levels.<\/p><p>The NS IPPT Taskforce aims to expand the VFT programme further, exploring progress tracking, personalised feedback, and gamification features to keep participants motivated.<\/p><p>While it&#8217;s crucial for SPF NSmen to be fit and agile to respond to emergencies, apprehend suspects, and ensure public safety, Haireel highlighted that there are broader benefits to encouraging higher IPPT pass rates. \u201cFitness builds mental resilience and camaraderie, which not only enhances overall well-being but also boosts operational effectiveness within the SPF,\u201d he said.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-d73b939 e-flex e-con-boxed wpr-particle-no wpr-jarallax-no wpr-parallax-no wpr-sticky-section-no e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"d73b939\" data-element_type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-ebe8d99 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"ebe8d99\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1236\" height=\"824\" src=\"https:\/\/www.hometeamns.sg\/frontline\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/Luqman_05.jpg\" class=\"attachment-full size-full wp-image-42216\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.hometeamns.sg\/frontline\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/Luqman_05.jpg 1236w, https:\/\/www.hometeamns.sg\/frontline\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/Luqman_05-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.hometeamns.sg\/frontline\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/Luqman_05-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.hometeamns.sg\/frontline\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/Luqman_05-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.hometeamns.sg\/frontline\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/Luqman_05-1200x800.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1236px) 100vw, 1236px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-30e3657 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"30e3657\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><em>SUPT (NS) Abdul Haireel bin Abdul Haleem (second row, first from left)\u00a0 and\u00a0<\/em><em style=\"font-size: 16px; text-align: start; letter-spacing: -0.21px;\">DSP (NS) Luqman Nulhakim bin Abdul Manan (first row, centre)<\/em><em style=\"letter-spacing: -0.015em;\">\u00a0 with trainers from the Jurong Division on the VFT programme.<\/em><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-1b778d5 e-flex e-con-boxed wpr-particle-no wpr-jarallax-no wpr-parallax-no wpr-sticky-section-no e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"1b778d5\" data-element_type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-d0238bf elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"d0238bf\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">HARNESSING TECHNOLOGY TO IMPROVE IPPT ADMINISTRATION<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-fc6e515 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"fc6e515\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>SGT (2) (NS) Muhammad Syarif Bin Mohamad Yasin, a communications and engagement officer at the Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA), helped streamline the IPPT process by leading the development of an artificial intelligence (AI)-powered search tool and working with the SPF\u2019s Service Delivery Department to update the IPPT FAQ on the SPF website.<\/p><p>\u201cThe new FAQ and the AI search tool make it much easier for NSmen to access IPPT-related information,\u201d explained Syarif.
