Our Training Philosophy
To ensure high efficiency in delivering training, Home Team Academy is guided by the following training philosophy.
To Train as We Operate
We aim to provide training that will add on to the operational strength of the Home Team (HT) Departments. Aligning our training to existing operational policies and practices is crucial in injecting and ensuring our training effectiveness.
To Develop the Home Team (HT) Officer
We aim to develop the HT officer – one who transcends his/her core competencies, and who can help facilitate a fellow HT colleague's work, and is able to apply cross – departmental skills and knowledge.
To Inculcate the HT Values
We are committed to help HT officers internalise and live the HT values of Honour and Unity through our training curricula.
