Examining the crucial role of psychology in cultivating effective police leaders, this review presentation outlines the Singapore Police Force’s development of its own Leadership Competency Framework (SPF LCF). The SPF LCF was first developed in 2004 and since then, has been used for leadership training, assessment, and development activities in the organization. Leadership assessment and development activities include assessment centres and 360-degree feedback programs for incumbents. The SPF LCF is specifically designed for the development of leaders within SPF and comprises 12 competencies, each progressively levelled in terms of behavioral complexity so as to identify the key leader behaviors at each of four leadership levels. Most recently, a comprehensive review of the SPF LCF was undertaken to ensure its continued relevance in an evolving socio-cultural and operational landscape. In this presentation, insights and takeaways that the author drew from the development and application of a police-centric leadership competency framework will be discussed.
