The Singapore Civil Defence Force and the Police Force plan to hold for the first time a joint Open Mobilisation Exercise.
Both Home Team agencies already have separate systems to mobilise their NS personnel, but this joint exercise aims to bring a new level of synergy and operational readiness to the two agencies.
The joint exercise also recognises the fact that in practically all emergencies, the civil defence and the police forces will work hand-in-hand.
During the mobilisation exercise, an activation message will be broadcast across local TV and radio stations.
The crest of the Singapore Police Force and the Civil Defence logo, as well as the code words of the units involved, will be flashed on television as official symbols of activation. - CNA
