A neighbourhood police post (Abbreviation: NPP; ) is a small police station in Singapore modelled after the Japanese kōban system, whereby police presence is enhanced in the neighbourhoods with the aid of a high number of smaller police establishments.
History
To tackle crime rates in Singapore, Prime Minister Lee Kuan Yew suggested that the Japanese Kōban system be studied. The first NPPs were to be set up in Toa Payoh by July 1983 with an evaluation phase starting from October 1983.
In 1986, there was a total of 34 NPPs with 57 more NPPs to be built leading to a total of 91 by 1989.
In 1997, Wong announced a restructuring of the neighbourhood policing system with the creation of the neighbourhood police centre (NPC) and reducing the number of NPPs from 91 to 66. The NPP would be subsequently managed by the NPC. The automated NPP has video conferencing ability, automated drop-boxes for lost-and-found property, and tablets with various apps from government agencies for general public use. It was subsequently announced that eight more NPPs will be constructed by 2025.
