The Tanglin Police Station, also known as Tanglin Division Headquarters, is located at 21 Kampong Java Road, Singapore 228892, and is responsible for policing Singapore’s central region, including areas such as Orchard Road, Clarke Quay, and the Istana[1][3][5]. The division oversees residential estates, schools, hospitals, hotels, embassies, and iconic Singapore landmarks.
Originally established at 17 Napier Road in 1981, the headquarters was relocated in 2001 to its current location at Kampong Java Road to modernise operations and enhance service capabilities[1].
Tanglin Division comprises five Neighbourhood Police Centres (NPCs) and seven redesigned Neighbourhood Police Posts (NPPs), providing services such as frontline response, proactive patrols, investigations, public education, community engagement, and police counter services[5]. The officers at Tanglin Division work closely with the public to address evolving security challenges, including terrorism and community safety.
The public can access Tanglin Police Station’s services 24 hours a day. The division is easily reachable by public transport, with the nearest MRT station being Novena (NS20), and multiple bus routes serving the area[2][7]. Contact can be made via the main hotline at 1800-3910000[3][5].
