About Us: The National Police Cadet Corps (NPCC) is the only uniformed youth organisation that enjoys a close affiliation with the Singapore Police Force. Our cadets have the unique opportunity to be exposed to and to familiarise themselves with Singapore’s crime prevention efforts. We focus on developing cadets to become confident leaders, with a heart for service to community and nation. Through our extensive NPCC curriculum, cadets will be able to develop values such as discipline, integrity, tenacity and civic-consciousness through their involvement activities both in and outside of school.
Key Programmes: With the gradual relaxation of the COVID-19 restrictions, our cadets are slowly able to take part in more activities organised by NPCC HQ. For instance, in the first half of the year, HQ organised various online training activities such as SG Secure, Police Procedures, and Basic Law to introduce as well as refresh students’ knowledge of the inner workings of our police department. Also, for the very first time, NPCC HQ organised an online CSI competition in 2022, where our Secondary 3 cadets had the invaluable opportunity to learn from experts in the forensic field and practice their skills in an online escape game.
As part of NPCC’s mission to develop responsible and civicminded individuals, our Secondary 2 cadets spearheaded a Community Safety and Security Programme (CSSP) project to educate their peers about the rising instances of scams in Singapore. Additionally, our Secondary 3 cadets participated in the Jurong Division NPCC Anti-Scam Challenge 2022, organised by the Bukit Panjang Neighbourhood Police Centre.
Apart from activities organised by HQ, our face-to-face CCA sessions are also filled with opportunities for our cadets to develop independence. Cadets have been imbued with values such as confidence, resilience and resourcefulness through outdoor activities as such field cooking and fire starting.
With the range of programmes lined up, our cadets are poised to take on the challenges of tomorrow.
