In [[Singapore]], the [[Police Coast Guard]] (PCG) is an operational department of the [[Singapore Police Force]]. Functions of the coast guard were transferred from the Republic of Singapore Navy to what was then the Marine Police in February 1993.<ref>[http://www.mindef.gov.sg/imindef/resources/speeches/1998/18apr98_speech.html] {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20071026122631/http://www.mindef.gov.sg/imindef/resources/speeches/1998/18apr98_speech.html|date=October 26, 2007}}</ref> The Marine Police was thus restructured and renamed as the Police Coast Guard, one of the few [[Law enforcement agency|law enforcement]] organizations in the world to combine water policing and coast guard duties while remaining as a policing unit. It operates primarily as a law enforcement agency, with secondary responsibilities in search and rescue.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.spf.gov.sg/abtspf/pcg.htm#dept |title=Singapore Police Force – About Us |publisher=Spf.gov.sg |date=1993-02-13 |access-date=2012-11-09 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20121102154653/http://www.spf.gov.sg/abtspf/pcg.htm#dept |archive-date=2012-11-02 }}</ref>
