      Standardna struktura činova se koristi  u cijeloj policiji, makar neki od činova mogu biti jedinstveni u specifičnim službama. Čin kaplara je ukinut 1972. godine, ali je ponovono uveden 1976. godine. 1997. svi se činovi  prebacuju sa rukava na epolete, osim za jedinicu koju čine Gurke. Iste te godine čin Staničnog inspektora prebačen sa revera na epolete, sa novim dizajnom koji je sličan onom višeg podoficira Oružanih snaga Singapura. 1998. godine se uvodi novi čin Stariji stanični inspektor i redizajniraju se neki od starih činova. 2002. godine ukidaju čin višeg kaplara. I na kraju 2006. jedinice Gurka uvode vezene činove na nove promijenjene radne uniforme, ali ih nose na desnom prsnom džepu.

1982 - 1997

      A standard rank structure is used throughout the police force, although some ranks may be unique to specific organisations. The rank of Corporal was abolished in 1972, but reinstated in 1976. In 1997, all ranks were shifted from the sleeves to the epaulettes, except for the Gurkha Contingent. Also in the same year, the Station Inspector rank was changed from collar pips to epaulettes with a new design similar to that of the SAF Warrant Officers, and the rank of Senior Station Inspector was introduced. In 1998, the Senior Station Inspector (2) rank was introduced, and changes were made to the SI, SSI, and SSI(2) rank designs. The rank of Lance Corporal was abolished in 2002. The 2006, the Gurkha Contingent adopted embroidered ranks as part of an overhaul of its combat dress, but are worn on the right front pocket.
