Running in a gas mask, unlocking handcuffs in the dark: The road to joining Singapore’s elite prison force

A SPEAR OFFICER’S LIFE FOR A Time

Completing the day-long collection approach does not imply passing it. The moving threshold is usually set.

Toh Hengli, the chief warrant and SPEAR trainer, said that powerful candidates would then be invited to a military course that would last for more than 20 weeks.

More specialized knowledge, quite as handling various weapons, are taught in this program. Only those who pass will&nbsp, become Stone officials.

SPEAR officers go through normal physical training for their jobs, which may include moving “difficult” prisoners, such as those who are aggressive or possess improvised weapons, or escorting high-risk prisoners facing capital charges to locations like the courtroom.

Some police officers have received training in punishment.

Although this might only occur once every month, SPEAR may get activated to assist their fellow prisoners, according to Toh. &nbsp,

Sometimes, this could be the start of a battle, but in such cases, prison guards will usually arrive on the scene.

If activated, SPEAR officers will walk the ground to show their presence and as a form of “deterrence”, so small fights do n’t escalate into big brawls or worse.
