The Protective Security Command (ProCom)[1] is a specialist counter-terrorist police unit of the Singapore Police Force (SPF). ProCom was formed to build up Singapore Police Force's public security capabilities and project police presence at security-sensitive locations. On 8 July 2016, the unit was commissioned.
An evolving public security landscape and the changing demographics of Singapore created the impetus for the transformation of the Key Installations Command (KINS) or the Police National Service Key Installations Command (PNS KINS),[2] which was originally established in October 1994.[3] KINS was once part of the Police National Service Department (PNSD). It has since evolved into ProCom, a stand-alone specialist line unit involved in Singapore Police Force's fight against terrorism.[4]
The unit has the largest group of Full-time National Servicemen (NSFs) and Operationally Ready National Servicemen (NSmen) in the SPF.[5][6]
