Members of the public will have the opportunity to engage directly with Singapore's law enforcement and correctional services at the upcoming Home Team Festival. The event provides a rare chance for visitors to participate in hands-on activities that showcase the work of the Home Team, which comprises the Singapore Police Force, Singapore Prison Service, and other related agencies.
Among the attractions, attendees can participate in activities such as a tug-of-war competition with trained police dogs, offering an up-close look at the animals used in operational work. Additional experiences allow visitors to simulate roles within the prison service, providing insights into the daily responsibilities of correctional officers.
The festival runs over three days at Suntec Convention Centre, one of Singapore's major event venues. The interactive format is designed to educate the public about the Home Team's operations while making the experience engaging and accessible to families and individuals of all ages.
Such public engagement initiatives are part of broader efforts by Singapore's security agencies to build community awareness and appreciation for their work in maintaining public safety and order.
