⚠️ Mandatory Compliance — Read This
What Happens If You Don't Complete By 31 Dec 2026?
🚫

You Cannot Be Deployed

From 1 January 2027, any SO or SSO who has not completed their mandatory modules will be barred from deployment at any security post in Singapore. This is a PLRD requirement not a suggestion.

💸

Immediate Loss of Income

Your employer will not be able to assign you to shifts or posts. Without deployment clearance, you receive no pay. Every week you delay is a week closer to an income gap that could have been avoided.

📋

Licence Renewal Risk

Failure to meet training requirements under the Progressive Wage Model may affect your security officer licence renewal. Act now classes fill up fast as the deadline approaches.
