Ang Mo Kio Police Division

The Ang Mo Kio Police Division (or 'F' Division, Chinese: 宏茂桥警区, Malay: Divisyen Polis Ang Mo Kio, Tamil: ஆங் மோ கியோ பிரிவு தலைமையகம்) is a police division of the Singapore Police Force. With its headquarters at 51 Ang Mo Kio Avenue 9, it has eight Neighbourhood Police Centres and eight Neighbourhood Police Posts under its jurisdiction. Although not the largest in size in terms of area, it handles the most number of residents (exceeding a million) compared to the other divisions, including those living in Ang Mo Kio, Hougang, Punggol, Seletar, Sembawang, Sengkang, Serangoon, and Yishun. Relatively uninhabited areas in Simpang and the Central Catchment Area also come under the jurisdiction of 'F' Division.

History
'F' Division was first formed in 1965 with its headquarters in the Paya Lebar Police Station at Upper Paya Lebar Road. Changing demographies and the rapid development of the suburbs resulted in the shifting of the divisional headquarters to its present location in Ang Mo Kio in 1987. When the Toa Payoh Police Division was closed in 1988, 'F' Division took over half its areas of control while Tanglin Police Division took over the rest.

Also, when the Geylang Police Division was closed in December 2000, 'F' Division took over 40% of its areas of control, while 50% came under the Bedok Police Division and the remainder went to Central Police Division.
