Introduction

A significant change is on the horizon for Yishun as the Yishun North Neighbourhood Police Centre (NPC) merges with the Yishun South station on December 18. This merger is a strategic move by the police to streamline operations and optimize resource management among their various facilities.

Details of the Merger

According to a statement from the police dated November 22, the merge is part of a larger effort to enhance their capacity in handling incidents of varying scales and complexities. The consolidation will see the number of police stations in Singapore decrease from 35 to 34, with the newly formed Yishun NPC located at the existing premises of Yishun North NPC at 31 Yishun Central.

Transition of Yishun South NPC

The Yishun South NPC at 32 Yishun Street 81 will transition into the Nee Soon South Neighbourhood Police Post. This center has been under renovation since January 2022 as part of the police's ongoing efforts to upgrade and modernize their facilities.

New Khatib Police Post

In a related adjustment, the current Nee Soon South police post situated at 798 Yishun Ring Road will be reinvented as the new Khatib police post. Notably, both new unmanned police posts will be equipped with self-help kiosks, allowing residents to access essential police services 24/7.

Future Plans

Looking ahead, the police have ambitious plans, announcing the construction of eight new police posts by 2025 to further enhance community policing and public safety. This initiative reflects a proactive approach to ensuring that residents can connect with law enforcement easily while adapting to the ever-evolving urban landscape.
