    "description_en": "In the early 1900s, Singapore grew rapidly and the crime rate rose with the city's expansion. Harold Fariburn - the Inspector - General of Police from 1925 to 1935 - realised that the Police needed a programme of modernisation and expansion. As a result, police stations like the Beach Road Police Station were built around 1930s.",
