SINGAPORE - The current Deputy Commissioner of Investigations and Intelligence, Mr Hoong Wee Teck, 51, will be appointed Commissioner of Police on Jan 6 next year.
He replaces current Police Commissioner Ng Joo Hee, 48, who will be appointed chief executive of the Public Utilities Board.
Mr Ng will also assume a concurrent appointment as Deputy Secretary (Special Duties), Ministry of the Environment and Water Resources from Jan 6 next year.
Mr Hoong, who is also director of the Criminal Investigation Department, has served 27 years in the Police Force. He held various key appointments including commander of Bedok Police Division and director of Police Intelligence.
Meanwhile, Mr Ng has served in the Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA) for 29 years, and helmed the Singapore Police Force (SPF) for close to five years.
In a statement on Wednesday, the MHA noted that the crime rate in Singapore reached a 30-year low last year during Mr Ng's term as commissioner.
"Mr Ng has provided strong leadership in reshaping SPF's strategies and putting in place systemic approaches in community policing, tackling unlicensed money lending and related harassment cases, as well as technology to facilitate policing," the Ministry said.
