Home Team Day
On 24 February, the Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA), together with its 10 Home Team Departments (HTDs), celebrates the Home Team Day.
Last updated 24 February 2026
Home Team Day marks the launch of the Home Team concept on 24 February 1997 by then-Minister for Home Affairs, Mr Wong Kan Seng. The concept recognises that while each department under the Ministry of Home Affairs carries out distinct responsibilities, they all share a unified mission to keep Singapore safe and secure. “Home” reflects the Ministry of Home Affairs, and “Team” underscores the commitment to work together as one.
Today, the Home Team concept continues to shape how Home Team Departments (HTDs) train, plan, and operate, ensuring coordinated and integrated responses to evolving challenges. Through close collaboration, HTDs harness one another’s strengths, optimise resources, and enhance the effectiveness and efficiency of their operations.
Over the years, this concept has been tested during various national crises. Each time, HTDs have come together, drawing on their collective capabilities to achieve mission success.
In commemoration of the progress made as One Home Team, Home Team Day honours the dedication and contributions of Home Team officers who have devoted themselves to safeguarding Singapore. It also reaffirms our shared commitment to strengthening coordination and integration across HTDs, serving the community more effectively, and fostering a stronger Home Team culture.
