The Singapore Police
Force (SPF) has once again proved that given the
support and a conducive environment, staff can embark
on radical innovations. Having won The Enterprise
Challenge’s (TEC) Innovative and Enterprising
Agency Shield three years in a row, SPF is indeed
a fine example of an innovative and enterprising
public agency.
With strong leadership and management support, the
innovation spirit has filtered through the organisation.
Such a strong innovation culture pervades the SPF
that its officers are not afraid to fail, experiment,
think out of the box and explore the seemingly impossible.
In fact, among the 69 agencies that have submitted
ideas to TEC, SPF has contributed the most ideas.
SPF also has the highest number of approved TEC
proposals, with an average of about two approved
proposals per year.
SPF’s collaboration and synergistic partnerships
with other public agencies and private companies
have also enabled it to scale greater heights in
its innovation journey.
SPF was the first public agency to partner with
fellow public agencies to collaborate on radical
innovations for TEC sponsorship. It was also the
first public agency to pilot an idea from the private
sector at a time when public agencies were only
beginning to understand innovation and were generally
not ready to experiment ideas from outside their
own organisations, especially untested ones.
