Committees, working structures and the TechAD division formed the governance foundation of the Go Green PDRM programme.
PDRM Green Practices
Green Practices and Green Technology Application are PDRM initiatives introduced in response to the National Green Technology Policy, positioning the Royal Malaysia Police as an early government pioneer of green practices in the public sector. The effort focuses on reducing the environmental impact of daily operations on local, regional and global communities while protecting the environment for future generations.
PDRM began this journey with the launch of PDRM Green Technology on 27 December 2012 and the Go Green PDRM agenda to raise awareness across offices, police stations and institutions nationwide about the importance of implementing green practices and green technology.
Energy audits, building retrofits, utility management and energy-efficient ICT supported lower resource consumption.
Community programmes, exhibitions and awareness campaigns brought the green agenda closer to both PDRM personnel and the public.
Introduction
This green agenda blueprint supports environmental conservation and promotes a safer environment for society. PDRM’s early implementation established the organisation as a pioneer and model for green practices in the public sector.
The development blueprint was launched by Dato' Seri Mohd Najib Tun Abdul Razak on 9 January 2014 to create awareness and improve understanding among PDRM personnel and the public regarding green practices and green technology application. The PDRM Government Green Procurement (GGP) Implementation Seminar on 27 November 2014 further strengthened PDRM’s position as a pioneer in green procurement across government agencies.
Through the Department of Strategic Resources and Technology (StaRT), PDRM has continued to organise programmes that cultivate green practices and embed Green Technology as a departmental priority.

PDRM Green Practice and Green Technology Initiatives 2014–2015
Early implementation focused on strengthening institutional frameworks, daily operations and green procurement, building and utility management, transport, ICT, and community programmes.
Key actions included the establishment of Green Practice and Green Technology committees across organisational levels, the formation of the Technology Analysis and Development Division (TechAD), GGP seminars and training sessions, participation in IGEM 2014 and 2015, 3R programme implementation, Life Cycle Costing workshops, pilot government green procurement projects, energy audits, retrofit work at Taman Tun Dr. Ismail Police Station, hybrid solar installations at Pulau Mabul Police Station, use of Eclimo electric scooters, PC Power Management deployment, and a range of community-focused green programmes.
Strategies for Cultivating Green Practices
The implementation strategy emphasises efficient energy use, prudent water management, more orderly waste disposal, environmentally friendly vehicle management, and prioritising green products and services.
This approach is translated into practical daily habits such as switching off equipment when not in use, maximising daylight, preventing water wastage, expanding 3R practices, sharing vehicles for common destinations, using biodegradable cleaning products, and replacing conventional products with more environmentally responsible alternatives.
This phase focused on establishing the implementation structure for the Go Green PDRM programme.
