Time of Arrest Please ensure that your arrest interview sheets and claim forms state the time and place of arrest.
3. Name and IC Number Please ensure that claims made for arrest and remand duty contain the name and identity card (“IC”) number of the Orang Yang Disyaki (“OYDS”, ie the suspect). If there is no IC number, please provide an explanation. 4. Claims Made for Mileage but No Service Rendered If a claim is made for mileage but no service was rendered, please provide an explanation. Eg: I was rostered for duty but when I went there, the police did not bring any OYDS for remand. B. Specific Guidelines on Making Claims for Bail and Mitigation 1. Case Number and Court Please ensure that the case number and court number are stated in the claim forms. 2. Section 3 of the Drug Dependants (Treatment and Rehabilitation) Act 1983 (“Act”) When making a claim for representation under section 3 of the Act, please consider it as a remand application and follow the rate of payment for remand, not bail. 3. Making a Claim When Not Rostered for Duty If you make a claim but you were not rostered for duty, please explain the reason(s) why the claim is being made.

Getting Up Fee for DNAA If the DNAA was given by the court on the second day of trial, then you can claim getting up fees. However you will not be entitled to getting up fees if the DNAA was given on the first day of trial. 4. Getting Up Fees If the Orang Kena Tuduh (“OKT”, ie the accused person) pleads guilty on the first day of trial, you will not be entitled to getting up fees. 5. Outcome of Case Please inform YBGK HQ of the outcome of the trial, ie whether the OKT was acquitted or convicted, and if convicted, the sentence that was passed. 6.
