On 13 Jul 2011, Ting Wei, Leonard, Aaron, Hui Shun, Hui Xin and I went to Home Team Academy for the CSI course. I had expected the course to be rather boring as we are the first batch that went for this course and the course curriculum was still not fully developed yet.
However, the course turned out to be a very interesting and fruitful one as it showed us how the police solve crimes via fingerprint dusting, taking down accounts from witnesses and collecting evidence from the crime scene. Although we have such skills and technology, solving a crime is difficult.
The place we went to is known as Training Village, which is designed for officers from the various Home Team Departments, such as the Singapore Police Force, Immigration and Checkpoint Authority of Singapore and Singapore Prisons Service to conduct their training. Of which, the gallery which we visited is designed for cadets like us learn about solving crime and have a better understanding of the work of the investigation officers in SPF.
As a conclusion, this is a very good course for all NPCC cadets and I do recommend the rest to participate in.
