TEXT AND PHOTOS: SPF Like many of his fellow Police National Service Men (PNS men), SSS (NS) Jason Chua was happy to perform his duties to the best of his abilities. In November 2021, he was one of three PNS men who were given the unique opportunity to undertake a six-week leadership course held at the Home Team Academy (HTA) with other regulars from the Singapore Police Force. This course was specially designed for officers to be promoted to the echelons of senior officers. \u201cI am honoured to count myself as a member of this pioneer batch of PNS men chosen for this leadership course,\u201d SSS (NS) Chua said. BONDED BY A COMMON MISSION The course tested each trainee\u2019s physical and mental resilience, and the group bonded quickly. \u201cOur background and rank \u2014 be it Station Inspector or Senior Station Inspector \u2014 were irrelevant. We learnt to sync and grow together as comrades-in-arms, holding the special title of Senior Officer Trainee (SOT).\u201d \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 The course began with a four-week non-residential intensive academic programme where the trainees studied aspects of the law that were most relevant to good policing, such as the Penal Code, Criminal Procedure Code and Evidence Act. \u201cWe were taught by not only experienced course managers but were also privileged to hear directly from seasoned private practitioners who candidly shared their knowledge with us,\u201d SSS (NS) Chua said. INTELLECTUALLY INTENSE TRAINING \u201cWhile it was an intellectually grueling experience, I am certain that all the SOTs were grateful for this academic rigor. After all, with increased scrutiny by the public on the work we do, it is increasingly important for police officers to be equipped with the legal knowledge that would enable them to excel in their job,\u201d he added. The academic programme culminated in a written examination comprising essays and short structured hypothetical questions that assess the SOTs ability to react to various scenarios and apply the correct police powers.

ENTERING THE FINAL PHASE According to SSS (NS) Chua, the real fun commenced just two days after the examinations with an exciting two-week residential leadership training stint \u2013 the final leg of their course. Conducted by the Leadership and Executive Training School (LETS) of the HTA, the residential component of the course aimed to develop, prepare and equip police officers with the necessary skills and knowledge to step into the shoes of an Inspector. \u201cThroughout the leadership course, we undertook various exercises to train us holistically to become an all-rounded leader. From classroom lessons to physical trainings, we were stretched and pushed to fulfil our highest potential. Our physical and mental resilience was tested time and again.

The trainees also organised a fire-side chat with Deputy Superintendent of Police, Roy Lim, on the topic of leadership. \u201cThere was no better way to learn about leadership than to hear first-hand from a seasoned and respected leader himself.
