if u wanna work ur way up from PO to SO....hard and u must be high flyer + get recognised right from the start else, very the difficult. typical is NPCO -> AO/AOO -> AIO / IO -> Office post in DHQ then u got chance...
must plan ur ROE well also....if u go in with Air Level or Diploma, u stand higher chance also...if u got Diploma, might as well go NTU since now they taking in poly grads...then sign on as a SO...u start from Insp / ASP, u skipped all the slogging from Sgt -> SSgt -> SSSgt -> A/Insp which will take u 5-6 yrs at least.
Yikes, means have to go thru all these steps in order to get promoted from PO to SO? So it seems that entry level SO more viable...
Anyway out of point down here, but anyone knows why is it that the SPF uses a standard "2 pips" only for Inspectors? What abt A/Insp and P/Insps?
I recall in Police Annual 1993 that there was a picture of a "3 pip" officers around...(though the Prison Services still has this insignia up til this day).. What happen to the "1 pip" and "3 pips" in the SPF?
Yikes, guess I asked too much..
