On 14 November 2023, Woodlands Police Division held a Public Order Response Force (PORF) Ground Deployment Exercise (GDX), in collaboration with Westlite Woodlands Dormitory. More than 70 officers and staff were involved in this exercise. 

This is the first ever GDX held within an actual dormitory in Woodlands. The realistic setting allowed both sides to validate and refine their contingency and response plans to public order situations.
