Teacher who volunteers as cop joins in celebrations for police force's 200th anniversary

He had reservations about joining the Singapore Police Force because his fitness level was not deemed to be at the top during his national service in the military. This could have affected his progression as a police officer.

Mr Tan's commitment sees him spend weekends and school holidays in various roles, including assisting regular SPF officers and patrolling the neighbourhood. His shifts sometimes last 14 hours. "In school, I have to be patient with the students and their parents," he explained."As a VSC officer, I have to be patient with the public who sometimes have unreasonable expectations of the police force."

The run was followed by the official launch of the SPF200 by Madam Halimah at the OCBC Square, Singapore Sports Hub. A set of six stamps commemorating SPF's bicentennial was also unveiled during the launch ceremony.
