C.L.I.F. 3 (Courage, Loyalty, Integrity, Fairness, or 警徽天职3) is a police procedural series produced by MediaCorp Singapore in 2013 in collaboration with the Singapore Police Force, following off from C.L.I.F. 2. It has premiered on 9 April 2014 on free-to-air channel MediaCorp Channel 8 at 9 pm (Singapore Time). There will be 25 episodes. It is also the first C.L.I.F. season to use aerial photography. Crime-prevention tips have also made its return, becoming the fifth series in which News Tonight commentaries are not announced.

The series topped the viewership charts for 2014, with an average viewership of 1,027,000 viewers, for six months until the title was replaced by Three Wishes, making it second. It is also the second series at 9pm after Soup of Life to break the 1 million mark.

Plot

More heart-stopping cases with twists and turns, more exciting scenes of police pitting their wits and might against criminals. And see how law enforcers carry out their tasks with concerted effort and strategy, and how, apart from fighting against criminals and overcoming the onslaught of tricky situations, they deal with their true feelings that surface in the face of love, friendship and kinship.

They epitomise courage, loyalty, integrity and fairness. In carrying out their duties, what are the difficulties, blood and tears, grit and struggles that they have to endure?

The series continues several story lines from the first and second seasons, but it delves further into the relationships of the characters. Yaojia has been promoted a rank. He and his girlfriend, later fiancée, Xin Yi, are back together again. Xin Yi has since been transferred to the Traffic Police Department and struggles with post-traumatic stress disorder from her time overseas with the UN after witnessing an incident there. Zhijie and Lantian are married and the latter has transferred from the Forensics Branch to the Criminal Investigation Department (CID). Guixiang and Xiaoyang return from the first season and it is revealed that they are now with the Traffic Police Department. Fugitive Chen Yanjun, a former psychiatrist and Season 2's main villain, returns with a vengeance to settle scores with Lantian.

The characters names are in both Chinese and dialect (if any) romanization.
