Working at ISD

Hear from our officers.

"Security Education gives me a unique balance of different kinds of work. As part of my day-to-day work, I not only conduct research and develop content, I also have regular opportunities to be an ambassador of ISD, engaging members of the public and sensitising them to threats to Singapore's internal security. I particularly enjoy the creative aspect of my work; for instance, where I get to come up with ideas about how to better reach out to the public."

- Harjit, Security Officer

"I was involved in a case just a few months into my job and got my first taste of investigative work. I found it exhilarating to piece together information from different sources to understand the case. Through this experience, I also had the chance to work closely with officers from different divisions to move investigations forward. I felt tremendously proud to be part of the team."

- Charline, Intelligence Analyst
