It manages a varied, highly urbanised area of central Singapore, which includes the public housing towns of Bishan, Toa Payoh and parts of Kallang, large areas of private housing areas such as those in Bukit Timah and Novena, as well as key commercial areas such as Orchard Road and Clarke Quay. Policing duties are carried out from five Neighbourhood Police Centres (NPC) and twelve Neighbourhood Police Posts (NPP).
