Message from
chief executive
The Home Team Academy
The Year Past
The Home Team Academy (HTA) is where Home
Team (HT) officers from all departments come together to train. It is a physical reminder to all of
us of the HT concept and also an example of the
HT working together to leverage off the strengths
of each other. It also reminds our officers that,
although they may work under different departments; they all belong to a bigger entity, which is
the HT.
Over the years, under the leadership of previous
Chief Executives, HTA had collaborated with HT
Departments to anchor their professional training at HTA where feasible. Besides the Home
Team schools, Centres of Excellence (CoE) had
also been established such as the Home Team
School of Criminal Investigation and the Centre
for Protective Security Studies. These centres
provide specialised training required across the
HT synergistically.
HTA had also sought to enhance trainer excellence across the HT. Trainers make a significant
difference to the outcome of training. Thus, it
is important that they are properly trained and
equipped to perform their roles well. Taking over
the command of HTA from SAC Derek Pereira, I
am committed to ensuring that HTA continues
providing excellence in training for our Home
Team officers.
For FY2012, HTA delivered some 29 courses,
reaching out to 1626 HT Officers. These courses range from milestone courses that provide
training for HT officers at various career points,
specialist courses in Joint Operations and also
training for trainers.
To encourage the use of technology in classroom training, a Next Generation Classroom, incorporating various technologies and platforms,
was created in HTA. This classroom serves as
a practice field for trainers to experiment with
new ways of delivering classroom training using available technology. Such experimentation
will allow the HT to better identify the relevant
technologies to bring into the mainstream classrooms.
A key role of HTA is to maintain and upgrade the
training facilities at the Academy to provide a
training environment that is conducive. Upgrading and renovation works were carried out at
the Training Village to update the training environment to better suit the training needs of the
training schools. A revised workflow and layout
was also introduced to allow some concurrent
training without compromising safety. Improvement works were also done at the range to allow full utilisation of all the ranges and improve
the safety of trainers and trainees as well.
“HTA will continue to ensure that our HT officers
receive the best possible training to
enable them to carry out their mission of keeping
Singapore safe and secure.”

The Year Ahead
In the year ahead, HTA will be conducting a review of the milestone courses. We look forward
to updating our courses to meet the challenges
presented to the HT. The review also seeks to
remove duplications and also ensure that the
courses serve the needs of the HT.
HTA will continue its focus on enhancing trainer excellence through the Trainers’ Competency
Development Roadmap by providing more learning opportunities for trainers. Besides sourcing
for training courses for our trainers, HTA will be
propagating instructional technology for training. With the rapid advances in technology, it
is important that our trainers are kept updated
about the latest instructional technology and be
able to exploit such technologies to make training more effective and efficient.
As 2013 marks the 7th year that the Academy
has been in operation, there is a need to replace
some of the fixtures as well and to give the infrastructure a refresh over the next two years.
HTA will also be taking this opportunity to work
with our stakeholders on improvement works
to enhance the Academy’s facilities. Besides the
physical infrastructure, HTA will also be upgrading its IT infrastructure and support to enhance
both the trainers’ and trainees’ learning environment.
To meet the challenges facing the HT, having
professional, ethical and committed officers is
of paramount importance. Training plays a significant role and HTA is committed to providing
our HT officers with the best possible training to
enable them to carry out their mission of keeping Singapore safe and secure.

leadership change: Change of Command of Chief Executive
The Home Team Academy (HTA) held its second Change of Command on 29 June 2012, marking the change
of leadership in the highest office in the Academy. The handing over of command from Senior Assistant Commissioner Derek Pereira to Senior Assistant Commissioner Jerry See was presided by Mr Tan Tee How, Permanent Secretary, Ministry of Home Affairs. The HTA Command Mace that was handed over from Mr Pereira
to Mr See signifies the command and authority and bears the tradition of responsibility for the pursuit of
excellence in training and discipline. The ceremony was witnessed by over 130 officers and invited guests
from the Ministry, Home Team (HT) Departments and strategic partners of the Academy.
Mr Pereira helmed HTA since 1 April 2009 as its second Chief Executive and continued the task of promoting
team work and fostering greater integration amongst the HT Departments. Under his watch, HTA grew from
a young academy to an alma mater of many HT officers. He took training to a new level by introducing new
courses, championing the development of training methodologies across the HT, constantly improving training facilities to reflect the realities on the ground and leveraging on technology.
Thank you, Mr Pereira, for your leadership.
“The HT training agenda is a
bold and still a relatively new
idea; we need to be pioneers
unafraid of the wilderness,
unafraid of failure and unafraid
of action.”
– Mr Derek Pereira

milestone courses
driven to train as we operate
The Home Team Academy adds value to the Home Team Concepts by
synergizing common topics and competencies across the Home Team
departments and aligning the milestone courses with the careers of
Home Team Officers
Engendering a Home Team Culture
The Academy is an important institution in inducting new entrants to the HT, be they uniformed or
non-uniformed staff, to a working life as a member of the HT. It also plans and organises training
for in-service HT uniformed and non-uniformed officers, so as to provide them with the opportunities to interact with fellow HT officers, thereby reinforcing the HT culture. Some of such initiatives
include:
•

Home Team Senior Command &
Staff Course
The Home Team Senior Command & Staff Course (HTSCSC) is the pinnacle leadership course conducted by
HTA for Home Team uniformed and civilian officers who are slated for, or are currently in senior command
appointments. Its objectives are for participants to:
a. Develop an understanding and appreciation of c. Develop an in-depth understanding of the crisis
the prevailing threats, geopolitics, internal fault lines management cycle, human behavior and group dywhich impact on the Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA); namics during a crisis; and
b. Understand broad strategies undertaken by the
Singapore government and MHA in response to the
prevailing threats, and be able to analyze and critique
these strategies, and translate them into effective actionable plans;
d. Understand the principles of Joint Operations
and to apply them during scenario based exercises and to identify strategic issues that have an impact on the management of an incident.
A classroom excercise in progress.
The HTSCSC for FY2012 was conducted from 2 May to 14 June 2012. The class consisted of 24 officers, including two officers from the Corrupt Practices Investigation Bureau and one officer from Singapore Customs.
The cohort of FY2012 undertook a 4-day course on Leadership in Public Events and Crisis Management at the
Australian Institute of Police Management (AIPM) in Sydney, Australia. This allowed the officers to appreciate
how various law enforcement and security issues are dealt with in other countries, such as the processes
involved and their strategic implications on national security. It also fostered closer ties with our regional
counterparts and generate closer working relationships. The course was well-rated by the participants and
achieved a Training Satisfaction Index (TSI) rating of 4.19 out of 5.
“For me, the HTSCSC represents one of the many
milestones in the never-ending journey of learning
and leadership. I am humbled by the opportunity to learn from my fellow course mates, domain
experts as well as both current and former eminent leaders. Future participants can expect to be
stretched beyond their comfort zones, expand their
perspectives and appreciate the synergy in
collaboration.”
Chua Tuan Meng (Head Ops of Management),
Immigration & Checkpoints Authority
“The enriching curriculum of the HTSCSC and
interactions with fellow course mates with
diverse backgrounds and work experiences had
certainly deepened my knowledge and widened
my perspectives of domestic and international
issues affecting HT.”

Driving Instructional Excellence &
Professionalization of Home Team Trainers
The Home Team Academy is committed to drive instructional excellence and best practices in the Home
Team (HT). HTA developed a Trainers’ Competency
Development Roadmap (TCDR) to enhance and professionalise the instructional capabilities of our HT
trainers.
The TCDR functions as a system of progression for trainers in the Home Team. This
enables us to professionalise the longterm development of trainers using
clear and transparent criteria for
common application across the
HT Departments. In a nutshell,
the Roadmap comprises 4 levels of trainers’ competency
each requiring certification
by passing professional courses prescribed for each
level. Using this standard development roadmap,
Departmental Trainers’ Development Boards, set up
within each HT Department, would be responsible
for the assessment and grading of their respective
trainers on their attainment of the competencies accordingly.
Trainers essentially start off being trained
in various instructional strategies and
methodologies via the Methods of Instructions (MOI) course. As trainers
progress within the TCDR framework, they would be further exposed to the theories in learning to prepare them for a
more developmental role

within the HT training community. The instructional
courses for trainers at the higher levels in the TCDR
are pegged to levels 3 and 4 in the National Workforce Skills Qualifications (WSQ) programme. This
qualification serves as an endorsement of a trainer’s
capability and competency.
With the TCDR, training standards are be levelled out
across the HT departments and trainers would be put
through certification courses to bridge their instructional competency gaps. The TCDR also seeks to inspire HT trainers to continually pursue instructional
excellence.

– Mr Rusmananda Usman
(Trainer from Singapore Police Force)
To date, over 700 HT trainers have benefitted from the TCDR framework. HTA would continue to fine tune the
roadmap to achieve instructional excellence and enhance the instructional competency development of our
trainers who are assets of our HT training community.

Harnessing Technology to
Enhance Training Systems
Trainers’ Day 2012
Trainers in the Home Team play an integral role in helping HTA
raise the quality of training. The “Trainers’ Day” is organised on
an annual basis to bring together the trainers community within
the Home Team, where they could meet with fellow trainers,
network amongst themselves and share best practices.
HTA champions the development of training systems in
order to raise the instructional standards and quality
of training. HTA plays the role of synergizing the efforts
of the Home Team (HT) Department training schools in
levelling up the instructional practices across the board
by putting in place quality training policies and programmes.
As part of improving training efficacy and efficiency and
facilitating learning, HTA has identified technology as a
key enabler to do this. Hence, one of our training approaches is to utilise e-learning, to advocate trainees
to learn through self-directed learning in addition to instructor-led classes.
Next generation classroom
Learning journey participants
in a group discussion
A learning journey to Microsoft Company was organized during
Trainers’ Day 2012, themed “Different Perspectives, New Ideas”.
The visit to Microsoft allowed our HT officers (made up of trainers, curriculum designers and those directly involved in the
deployment of e-learning from the various HT departments) to learn about Microsoft’s innovative work
solutions; such as its strategies in ensuring an effective and efficient transfer of learning via info-comm
technology and how it created a collaborative work environment for its staff. The day ended with a group
discussion to reflect on the learning points of the visit.
The Learning Journey garnered positive feedback, with many of our officers noting the importance of
e-learning. The participants also felt that the programme had achieved what it set out to do – generating
fresh ideas and perspectives in the conduct of e-learning.
ICE lab
It is important to expose our trainers and learn from others by adopting their best practices so as to improve
our instructional standards. HTA constantly looks for ways to enhance our trainers’ competencies and their
instructional methods. Harnessing the power of information technology through e-learning is one of the
approaches that we seek to raise our training standards in the Home Team.

collaborative partnerships in training. SPC’s Vice President Yu Hai
Sheng led a team to HTA on 21 Sep 2012 to discuss training opportunities for the staff and trainers of SPC as well as the heads
of Chinese public security colleges.
The discussion resulted in two training programmes offered to
principals and vice principals of public security colleges around
China. The training programmes organised by the Singapore
Police Force included site visits to HT units and lectures by the
Nanyang Technological University. As part of the site visit, the
two batches of participants visited HTA and the Police Training
Command (TRACOM) on 18 and 26 Dec 2012 to understand more
about the HT concept and training in the HT and TRACOM.
