Committee of Supply Debate 2025
The Home Team continues to do well in keeping Singapore safe and secure. Singaporeans remain confident in the Home Team’s ability to carry out its mission fairly and effectively.
To tackle new and evolving threats and security challenges, the Home Team will:
- Leverage technologies such as Artificial Intelligence for organisational effectiveness, equip our officers with the competencies to use them, and review our laws and regulatory frameworks to deal with crimes.
- Expand the foreign recruitment pool for Emergency Medical Services personnel and Auxiliary Police Officers with tight safeguards.
- Partner banks to strengthen their scam prevention measures and work on more ways to help people better identify potential scams.
- Strengthen Preventive Drug Education for youths, such as through schools and with parents.
- Fully operationalise Supervision 2.0 to enhance the supervision and reintegration of ex-drug abusers into society, as well as support the rehabilitation of inmates with initiatives that help them strengthen relationships with their families and enhance their chances for gainful employment.
