AETOS has been appointed by the Singapore Civil Defence Force (SCDF) as the Contact Centre Operator for the ‘1777’ non-emergency ambulance hotline. From 12 noon on 31 December 2018, trained AETOS call agents will answer calls for cases which require non-emergency ambulances.

Mr. Patrick Koh, Vice President of Sales & Marketing, said, “This service will form part of our centralised AETOS Command Centre operations, which conducts round-the-clock remote monitoring and access control for our clients’ facilities, as well as island-wide monitoring of our own personnel and vehicle fleet.”

“I am confident that with our expertise and the right systems in place, AETOS will enable seamless referrals and prompt response to non-emergency calls made to the hotline,” added Mr. Koh.

The Contact Centre is one of several new services provided by AETOS as part of its plans to expand into new business areas, such as safety and integrated facilities management services.

For SCDF Emergency Medical Services, please call 995 directly.

AETOS provided event security for the 11th Formula 1 Singapore Grand Prix, having provided security for this major tourist event since its inception. More than 500 Auxiliary Police Officers (APOs) and 130 Security Officers (SOs) will be deployed each day, carrying out duties such as conducting security checks and maintaining public order.

This year’s race also marks the first time our officers will provide additional crowd control and traffic management duties for the Land Transport Authority. Approximately 80 APOs will be stationed near key transport infrastructure, including MRT stations, taxi stands, and shuttle bus points.

In terms of innovative technology, enhanced vehicle management systems, integral to the operation of AETOS’ cash-in-transit vehicle fleet, will be installed for the first time in certain vehicles serving the area. With access control, geofencing, and remote immobilization capabilities, this additional safety measure will reduce the likelihood of vehicle-based threats.

Launched in 2008, the Singapore Grand Prix was the inaugural night race and the first Asian street circuit for the FIA Formula 1 World Championship. An expected 73,000 fans and tourists will descend on the Marina Bay Street Circuit each day for the races, as well as concerts featuring international headliners including Jay Chou, The Killers and Martin Garrix.
