Download the SGSecure App
The SGSecure app allows users to report suspicious sightings to the authorities in a few simple steps – point, shoot and send. Users can also receive timely alerts and updates from the authorities in the event of major emergencies.
You may also use the Personal SOS feature to quickly contact the Police for emergency assistance via the Police’s SMS 70999 service. When the Personal SOS feature is activated, the SGSecure app will generate a standard SMS template for the user to send, containing a link that will allow the Police to access the user’s approximate location via the SGSecure app. The user can edit the SMS before sending it out. He/she can also use the feature to send the SMS to three of his/her pre-determined SOS contacts, to enable them to access his/her location. The Personal SOS location access can be deactivated by the user at any time, or by the Police, when the incident has concluded. For more information on this, see Frequently Asked Questions.
We encourage you to download the app today!
The SGSecure app is kindly supported by Samsung.
Be an SGSecure Responder today!
The community plays a critical role in our fight against terrorism. Anyone can be a Responder if you are willing to play your part in any of these roles:
Staying Alert - Report anything suspicious to authorities early through the "Report" function in the SGSecure app.
Staying United - In the event of a terror attack or security incident, keep calm and obtain latest information from official sources such as through the "Alert" function in the SGSecure app. Do not speculate or spread misinformation/ disinformation, only share verified information from official sources.
Staying Strong - Timely response to nearby cases of cardiac arrest and minor fire can save lives. No prior certification in life-saving skills is needed to give a hand, but being trained in them can better prepare you to deal with an emergency.
To sign up as an SGSecure Responder, simply download the SGSecure app and register via the "Respond" function. For more information on this, see Frequently Asked Questions.
Equip yourself with Emergency Preparedness Skills
We also encourage everyone to equip yourself some emergency preparedness skills which can be useful in our daily lives as well. The SCDF conducts free emergency preparedness training as part of its Responders Plus Programme (RPP). The RPP has two components.
RPP (Online) - Core lifesaving skills are covered by a self-directed e-learning course.
RPP (In-Person) - Through hands-on practical sessions, you will further hone your lifesaving skills.
You are strongly encouraged to attend both components of the RPP for a richer learning experience.
More information is available on SCDF's website at www.scdf.gov.sg. You can also get in touch with your nearest SCDF Division for more information.
