ABOUT NPCC

About NPCC:

The National Police Cadet Corps (NPCC), established in 1959, is one of the nine uniformed groups in Singapore. As there are many schools with NPCC, each school is split into one of the 20 areas in NPCC; and each area is under a specific zone (Resillience, Integrity, Service, and Excellence). 

The National Police Cadet Corps is closely partnered with the Ministry of Education, as well as the Singapore Police Force. The National Police Cadet Corps is also part of the Home Team Corps (HTC), with the National Civil Defence Cadet Corps.

The National Police Cadet Corps focuses on the "6A" framework when training cadets, to train and develop cadets at each level of their development.

Commandant's Foreword:

The National Police Cadet Corps (NPCC), formed in 1959, is one of the longest standing uniformed youth organisations in Singapore today with a proud heritage.

Its popularity amongst our youth is largely attributed to its close affiliation with the Singapore Police Force. Our cadets are exposed to unique opportunities to gain knowledge and familiarity with Singapore’s crime prevention efforts in building a safe and secure home for us all.

Through a variety of activities, the values of resilience, integrity, service, and excellence are inculcated in our youth. These values will enable them to develop into caring and responsible citizens with a sense of purpose to serve the community.

NPCC is a fulfilling and enriching co-curricular activity which allows cadets to learn and grow significantly in personal competencies and leadership. The Corps also continually seeks to improve and craft rich and meaningful learning experiences to equip our cadets with the necessary skill sets to navigate the world of the 21st century.
