Police Heritage Centre

Today i went to the police heritage centre with my class(1p1). On reaching the place, i saw a high fence an a picture 'Warning restriced area; tight security'. If they want to promote this as a tourist attraction, the tourists will definitely feel unwelcomed. But, if 'forced to enter', they will definitely enjoy it. Firstly,as security purposes, their security is very strict. We are forced to fork out our ez link card in exchange for our visitor pass. Their service was of an average speed but i feel that they should be faster as there are 4 classes standing in the hot sun and it was very hot. However, i was privilleged as we were the first class and i was the first few(managed to escape the blistering heat). Next, after our whole class had a visitor pass we proceeded to the police heritage centre. We watched a short film about the history of the police and how the police force changed with the occupation of the japenese. Then we proceeded to the next floor and there were some police honourary ranks. There were also some policement who passed away in honour while carrying out their duties. For example, the police a huge outbreak of robberies in the bukit timah area. So, the police sent a team there to patrol the area for suspicious people. Then, at newton circus market, they saw a man carrying a haversack, they quickly asked the man to reveal what is in the haversack, the man placed the haversack on the hood of the car. In a flash, the man snatched an axe an hacked the policeman's throat, drawing blood. The others immediately called for back-up and an ambulance. However, the fugitive ran away before the policeman had enough time to catch him. The reinforcements came and hunted down the cold-blooded man. The police reached a block of flats(i think) and saw the lift stop at the top floor. Being witty, the immediately took the lift up too. When they reached the roof, they combed the area only to find the fugitive behind a row of flower pots. That man was caught and after a verdict was hanged. The policeman who sacrified his life was awarded the medal of valour in recognision for his courage. I feel that the policemen have a meaningful job as they uphold the security in our lives. After that, we went upstairs and saw how the police were in the past and now. Ending our trips, we were all given a keychain of the police heritage centre. I had a meaningful experience and hope we can visit other places more often.
