National Service Offences

Where minor service offences are concerned, informal punishment such as verbal reprimands or extra duties may be given to servicemen.

For serious offences, offenders may be tried by the courts or given summary trials by appointed disciplinary officers. Punishment may be in the form of monetary fines or detention.

Absence Without Official Leave (AWOL)

The act of AWOL is considered a very serious offence. If an NSF goes AWOL, the time spent during AWOL and detention is not counted towards National Service.

Drug and Inhalant Abuse

The use of drugs and inhalants represents a severe violation of SCDF’s Regulations. These substances inflict significant harm on both physical and mental health.

To address this issue, units conduct frequent, unannounced urine test screenings. The thoroughness of these tests makes it virtually impossible for offenders to avoid detection. SCDF takes a zero-tolerance stance on these infractions, imposing harsh penalties on those who are found guilty.

Drugs, Alcohol and Cigarettes
SCDF Personnel are strictly prohibited from bringing or using drugs, alcohol or cigarettes/vaping within SCDF premises. The possession of these contraband items constitutes a major service offence. Those who contravened the rules will face disciplinary actions which may include a fine or detention sentence.
Seeking Redress
If a serviceman feels unfairly treated or victimized, he may feedback to his immediate superiors, such as his Platoon Commander, Company Commander, or direct supervisor.

SCDF Provost Unit is responsible for overseeing and investigating any violations of Regulations or Standing Orders. When complaints are substantiated, SCDF will take disciplinary actions against those found responsible.
