The\u00a0Singapore Police Force\u00a0(SPF) marked a proud tradition on 3 June 2025 with the Police Day Observance Ceremony, held at the\u00a0Home Team Academy.<\/p>

This annual event has been a cornerstone of the SPF\u2019s identity since 1971, serving as a moment to recognise achievements, honour officers past and present, and renew the values to serve with Courage, Loyalty, Integrity, and Fairness.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
