The '''Clementi Police Division''' (or ''''D' Division''', [[Chinese language|Chinese]]: 金文泰警区) is a [[police division]] of the [[Singapore Police Force]]. Covering the south-wested parts of [[Singapore]], it controls an area of about 70 square kilometres which includes all or part of [[Bukit Merah]], [[Bukit Timah]], [[Clementi, Singapore|Clementi]], [[Queenstown, Singapore|Queenstown]], [[Jurong East]], as well as off-shore islands such as [[Sentosa]] and [[Jurong Island]]. Four [[Neighbourhood Police Centre]]s (NPC) and 11 [[Neighbourhood Police Post]]s (NPP) comes under the management of the Division.

==History==
'D' Division was first formed in [[1964]] with its headquarters at [[Singapore Police Force#Defunct Units/Facilities|Queenstown Police Station]], [[Queenstown, Singapore|Queenstown]], which was sited directly across the road from the [[Police Tactical Unit (Singapore)|Police Reserve Unit 2]] stationed at [[Queensway Base]]. This base also provided accommodations for off-duty single male officers then. Changing demographies and the rapid development of the suburbs resulted in the shifting of the divisional headquarters to its present location in [[Clementi, Singapore|Clementi]] in [[1987]].

'D' Division was the first division in which the NPC system was implemented and went on trial. The first such NPC, [[Queenstown Neighbourhood Police Centre]], opened its doors on 1 October 1997 before being officially opened by Mr Wong Kang Seng, Minister for Home Affairs, on 20 December 1997. Operating from a temporary site beside the [[Queenstown MRT Station]], it is slated to move to a new site co-located with the new fire station of the [[Singapore Civil Defence Force]]. The other three NPCs has since moved into permanent buildings, although the Clementi Neighbourhood Police Centre was setup at the existing facilities of the Clementi Police Station now co-located with the division headquarters.
