Singapore Special Tactics and Rescue Recruitment Video

[gixxerkia]

@tehtehist the prerequsites are simple.... But all it boils down to ur mentality... To be frank, from 40 condidates, all in SPF, came to about 6 people who survived the "hell week"... "hell week" is just the beginning. Those who survived will then start the actually training.

[gixxerkia]

@ivanselfdefence u must know the law 1st... Yes sq117 were dealt by the commandos... And whenever it has become international.news, commandos will step in... Otherwise, the STAR will handle such hostage situation... Just to clarify the matter... At the end of the day, its about protecting Singapore... Regardless whether u are man in green,blue,orange,or white... Cheers....

[tehtehist]

What are the prerequisites to join the STAR team?

[gabe1111ish]

S.T.A.R.S stands for Special Tactics and Rescue Service. What we do is simple...we save people! We are not hunters we are police officers and we see it as our job to make sure that every civilian gets somewhere that is safe. we only recruit the bravest of survivors, much training is done to ensure you are up to the job but in this frantic fight for survival we stand our ground and attempt to save as many lives as possible! Want to make a difference? The S.T.A.R.S need you! Apply today!

SCDF have their Firefighters, the elites among firefighters are DART.

(Disaster Assistance and Rescue Team)

SPF have their SOC, the elites among SOC are STAR.

(Special Tatics and Rescue)

SPF have their PCG, the elites among PCG are STS.

(Special Task Squadron)

Prisons have their elite SPEAR.

(Singapore Prisons Emergency Action Response)

Only Nutcases join them and I salute these Nutcases!!

[cockupcb]

@unclejackal While I can't speak for the others because I don't have first hand experience, I had the honour of watching the DART team training. I must say, these are psychos who seem to enjoy pain. A transcendental experience of sort... to see people who put their bodies to such potential danger for a life saving profession. A far cry from the normal fire fighting training syllabus(which isn't by any normal standards an easy training either).

[trublesun]

STAR consists only of regular police officers selected from the line units. No SAF personnel whatsoever, and no NSFs either, commando or not.

[peejdaz]

@trublesun there are NSFs.. you can count the no. of them with 1 hand

[jaffabar69]

@trublesun confirmed the part by @peejdaz... Home Team Academy allows around 1 handful of national servicemen from the current intake to be trained at STAR base at queens____... after their PoP

[mimieblack18]

@jaffabar69 there's no STAR base.. Only SOC base.. STAR is under SOC.. only that they're the elites.. 

[mimieblack18]

@jaffabar69 star has no ns men.. only soc..

I heard recruitment is only open to serving police officers

[Mighel85]

hey dude bad news, i paid the indonesian Prime minister, Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono $2 SGD. he said sorry and won't do it. Plus for another 50cents, he would wash my car for a whole year.

[areosharp]

hahaz...nice one...most ppl jus reply with I fuck ur mom/sis/ watever pathatic vocab they have...u pawned him

[areosharp]

btw his the president not the prime minister...

[slavwiz]

Is dis unit racially biased? who knows, juz askin.

[hwzoner]

they think they are commandos,

they think they are divers,

they think they are guards,

i tell you they are just a piece of shit.

[lppl3]

Why not you join STAR unit then see what kind of shit they do?

[lppl3]

STAR unit may consist of people from SAF units during their NS. Some are from commandos also...

[DFORCE8228305]

u try den u noe which one harder..i dont get it y mus argue about tis?typical singaporeans..let the commandos do their job n let star do theirs..walao eh..got trophy ah u all argue?

[MxFadzil]

@DFORCE8228305 hahaha true enough what u commented about...

[figo17]

i hope our STAR would be like Hongkong S.D.U one dae.

Is the S.T.A..R training harder than our commandos?

[extremezorro]

Definitely...they r special forces apart from S.O.F...their training as i have to say it's similar like S.O.F...

[paradisegillian]

Well guys u nvr know what will happen ten yrs down the road...commandos n polices diff job scope la so dont compare .. I was a commando back then now i gg police lor

[deltaforcexxx]

I think STAR is a waste of our country's resources when we already have commandos from the military to deal with terrorism. Why create a special police unit to do all the same stuff? This is not hong kong where there are heavily armed criminals with automactic weapons. I know STAR had a few notable operations in Singapore but they shouldn't be presented like the U.S SWAT in advertisment. They usually do more of intelligence gathering work rather than doing high risk warrant

[deltaforcexxx]

singapore police force and STAR operate differently..Yes...i would call the police if i need help next time, but STAR wouldn't be coming. Who would intervene if there is hijacking incident???Police or military?

[trublesun]

@deltaforcexxx you are quite clearly a military nut so i won't try to convince you from your naive love affair with soldiers, but I will point out to you STAR has been activated more often than the commandos you have a crush on. situations like hostage scenarios and terrorists (see mumbai) require the finesse and discipline of a well-trained police officer, not a trigger-happy soldier with jungle survival skills. btw, here's a wake-up call: police have always been the one dealing with terrorism.

[ivanselfdefense]

@trublesun Please take note Star has no real life shoot out encounter and 0 take downs... The only real life encounters are accomplished successfully by the SOF commandos on the SQ 117 terrorist hijack. Military are not just about jungle warfare. Most Military spec ops worldwide includes Direct Action, Special Recon, Unconventional warfare, Anti- terrorism (Close quarter battles). And lastly, most anti terrorism trainers are from spec ops from military and they are the ones that train police...

[princeNabil1998]

can't wait till I grow up, want to work like them, DEFENSE SINGAPORE . Ah... My ambition is to be a STAR TEAM.

[budakdk]

I don't deny that we have allies who are protecting us.

Because Singapore is small, but eventhough we are small, we have worked hard to keep singapore safe by creating allies.

It is never wrong to make friends, and thanks to this, American,India, and many other countries dont wish to attack us. They even protect us.

Because we are their friends, and when they are in need of aid, we will always be there to help.

[raider2121]

"we see ends as justifying our means"?!?! these are the very last kinda words u wld wanna hear from any LAW enforcement.

[arsenal25]
