Rapid technological advances, demographic and societal changes and resource constraints have made Home Team operations more complex. Each of the Home Team Departments is highly competent and professional in its functional domain. However, the merits of synergising the potential and resources of each department are far greater than the sum of each individual department. The Home Team concept is the core principle underpinning the way Home Team Departments plan, coordinate, train and operate, thus ensuring synergy and effectiveness towards keeping Singapore safe and secure. This module is targeted at equipping new Home Team Officers with an understanding of the Home Team concept, the roles of different Home Team Departments, the operational challenges and the basic principles behind joint-operations.
