Playing detective in Singapore

TWENTY teams of junior college students played detectives at the CSI Singapore 2008 'The Real Search' competition organised by the Singapore Police Force.

Each team was made up of eight first-year students and they had to solve a crime from a staged crime scene set up at the Old Police Academy in Thomson Road.

The police's assistant director of manpower Adrian Sim said the competition gave participants the chance to experience for themselves the 'challenges and difficulties faced by police officers in uncovering the truth.'

The competition would also help them understand how forensics, investigations and information-gathering play a vital part in the process of crime solving, said Mr Sim.
