Presented by actual serving regular police officers, it showcases the work of the Singapore Police Force including the re-enactments of major solved cases, appeals for unsolved cases, as well as general crime prevention advice in a Singaporean context.
The series first premiered on the English-languageChannel 5 on 30 November 1986. Subsequent dubbings of Singapore's other official languages began with Mandarin (绳之以法) on 7 December on Channel 8 that year. The series later implemented Malay dubs for Suria (Jejak Jenayah) starting in 2000, followed by Tamil's Vasantham (Kutra Kannkaanippu) in 2001.
Crimewatch first premiered on 30 November 1986 with the first case featuring an unsolved murder of a 19-year-old national serviceman and a public appeal from the victim's parents. Less than two weeks after the episode was broadcast, police were able to identify and arrest the suspects based on information provided by viewers responding to the appeal. The episode also contained a police appeal for information regarding the case of two missing boys Toh Hong Huat and Keh Chin Ann and another murder case.[1] The series was met with positive reception and it has since aired on a monthly basis starting on 1993 with six episodes, before extending to ten episodes the following year. The series airs with only the Mandarin dubbing during the start, but it has since been extended to Malay in 1993, followed by Tamil in 1994.
The 2012 season was preceded by a retrospective special titled Crimewatch 25th Anniversary Special airing 19 February 2012 revisiting the series most memorable moments and interviews by the cast. The special was hosted by television actor Tay Ping Hui, which he also performed numerous crime television series such as C.L.I.F.. The 2012 season was also the first season to not feature narration which was implemented since the series' start.
Episodes in English and Mandarin after 1993 and episodes in Malay and Tamil after 2013 can be found on meWATCH and on the Singapore Police Force's YouTube channel.
Production for the 2020 season was postponed for two months from May to June due to the COVID-19 pandemic; reruns of selected episodes took the place of the affected episodes. Due to this postponement, the 2020 season marked the first time the show aired episodes in the months of January and February.[citation needed]
The 2021 season premiered on 25 April 2021, making it the first season to not premiere in March.[2] Production for the 2021 season was also postponed for a month in July due to the COVID-19 pandemic and no new episodes were aired. The 2022 season premiered on 25 April 2022, the second season to not premiere in March.
Each season of Crimewatch consists of ten episodes (twelve episodes for 1989 and six episodes for 1993) usually aired near the end of every month between March and December every year. The English version is aired on the third or fourth Sunday, and the Mandarin version is aired on the last Friday of the same month. The Malay and Tamil versions are aired on the first Monday and Thursday of the following month respectively.
Most episodes feature a reenactment of crimes that occurred in Singapore that plays for the entirety of the episode, followed by a short segment on other advisories (such as the annual Great Singapore Sale). The segment ends with the presenter narrating the sentences given to the featured criminals, and offering advice to the public for their own protection and safety related to that particular segment.
Recent episodes also feature information on scams, including mechanisms, statistics and advice from various government agencies and non-governmental organisations, such as those from the Singapore Police Force's Criminal Investigation Department and the National Crime Prevention Council.
