Introduction

Comparative Police System are charged with the regulations and control of
the affairs of a community, now chiefly the department established to maintain
order, enforce the law and prevent and detect crime.
Singapore retains both corporal punishment and capital punishment as
punishment for serious offenses. For certain offences, the imposition of these
penalties is mandatory. Although the legal system of Singapore is a common law
system, the criminal law of Singapore is largely statutory in nature. The general
principles of criminal law, as well as the elements and penalties of common criminal
offences such as homicide, theft and cheating are set out in the penal code.

Body
 History of Singapore

 During World War II, Singapore was conquered and occupied by the
Japanese Empire from 1942 to 1945. when the war ended, Singapore
reverted to british control, with increasing levels of self-government being
granted, culminating in Singapore’s merger with the Federation of Malaya
to form Malaysia in 1963. however, social unrest and disputes between
Singapore’s ruling People’ Action Party and Malaysia’s Alliance Party
resulted in Singapore’s expulsion form Malaysia. Singapore became an
independent republic on August 9, 1965.

 History of Singapore Police Force

 The Singapore Police Force (SPF) was founded in 1819, making it the
oldest government organisation in Singapore. Mr Francis James Bernard
was the Chief Police Officer overseeing a very small unit comprising only
one sergeant, 12 constables and a jailer. The lean force was strengthened
in 1826 when the Singapore Police, together with Malacca and Penang,
was incorporated into the Straits Settlements Police. However, law
 enforcement was an uphill task especially for an understaffed force when
lawlessness was the order of the day as the population boomed.
 The early 1900s was a period of rapid transformation for the Force to be
more systematic with the introduction of a criminal registry, fingerprint
system, setting up of Police Headquarters at South Bridge Road, and
establishments of the Marine Branch, the Criminal Intelligence, Traffic
Branch, a Police Force Training Depot and a Communications Branch. The
Force was expanded to about 2,000 strong, making Singapore a more
peaceful and safer place than it was in the late 1800s.
 After the war, the police embarked on a major recruitment drive to
supplement the regular officers thus forming the Volunteer Special
Constabulary in 1946. In 1948, the Republic of the Singapore Police Force
established the Radio Division at Eu Tong Sen Street and the police
emergency hotline '999' was launched. During the 50s and 60s, Singapore
was rocked by riots and the Riot Squad was formed to tackle racial,
political and labour unrests.
 The Force underwent yet more changes as Singapore gained self-
governance from 1959-1963. After breaking away from the merger with
Malaysia in 1965, Singapore eventually attained independence in 1965.
The crests of the Force mirrored the political changes it was renamed the
Polis Repablik Singapura (Republic of Singapore Police).
