Although personal challenges eventually led him to take up a Diploma in Business at Temasek Polytechnic \u2014 instead of one in cybersecurity \u2014 his passion for the subject never faded.<\/p><p>When he was enlisted into the SPF, Luke underwent two months of foundational police training at the Police Training Command (TRACOM). He was then posted to ASCom \u2014 a role that gave him the chance to reconnect with his tech interest in a meaningful way.<\/p><p>At ASCom, Luke\u2019s primary responsibility is operating the\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.scamshield.gov.sg\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">ScamShield<\/a> dashboard, where he reviews user-reported scams and blocks numbers identified as scam-related. While an automated script handles the initial filtering, Luke manually assesses selected reports to determine if further action is needed.<\/p><p>His work helps disrupt scam operations and prevents potential victims from being targeted. \u201cWhat makes this job meaningful is knowing that my work impacts many Singaporeans,\u201d he says. \u201cOn a personal note, my dad was scammed a year ago, so I know what it feels like to fall victim to a scam. Scammers are always evolving their methods, so we have to keep learning and adapting to stay ahead.\u201d<\/p><p>For new NSCOs stepping into the role, Luke offers this advice: \u201cBe prepared to work with others and embrace challenges with an open mind.

This work requires us to stay updated on scam tactics and collaborate with different agencies to secure Singapore\u2019s digital space,\u201d he explains.<\/p><p>What drives him most is knowing that his work has real-world impact. \u201cIt\u2019s rewarding to know that I can use the specialised skills I\u2019ve learnt to contribute to the SPF\u2019s mission,\u201d he says. \u201cTaking down scam websites makes a real difference, and I take pride in that.\u201d<\/p><p>He encourages future NSCOs to adopt the same mindset. \u201cStay curious and proactive. Scammers constantly evolve, and so should we. Keep an open mind \u2013 there\u2019s a lot to learn, and the officers here are passionate about teaching.
