- The Singapore Prisons Emergency Action Response (SPEAR), formerly known as Special Action Prisons Unit (SAPU), is a department within the Singapore Prison Service (SPS). SPEAR Force is a highly trained elite force that is deployed for various high risk special operations and prepared to quell any riots or fights within the prisons. It assists SPS officers in handling non-compliant inmates, intervening when necessary. Their expertise lies in using softer options like beanbag rounds and soft projectiles. They also share their tactics and insights with other Home Team units, as only SPEAR has this unique expertise. Every anniversary, on 1 December, SPEAR participates in international competitions (such as the Office of Law Enforcement Technology Commercialisation (OLETC) Mock Prison Riot), where they showcase their tactical know-how and learn from counterparts from other leading prisons, correctional and law enforcement agencies. SPEAR did very well in the 2015 Mock Prison Riot, clinching champion and 1st runner–up titles in the individual and team categories respectively. SPEAR also organises the biennial Asian Prisons Lockdown Challenge (APLC) to enhance tactical capabilities and exchange knowledge in prisons and correctional services in the region. (en)
