NPCC

The National Police Cadet Corps (NPCC) is a uniformed youth organization in Singapore operating as a co-curricular activity within schools. It is administered under the Singapore Police Force and supported by the Ministry of Education, with the aim of developing leadership, discipline, and civic responsibility in young people.

NPCC units are present in many secondary schools. Cadets receive training in drill and parade, dress and bearing, public safety awareness, basic first aid, and civil defence-related activities, alongside community service projects. The program emphasizes teamwork, service, and respect for law and order.

Training is delivered by police officers and NPCC instructors who supervise regular drills, training sessions, field exercises, and camps. Activities include participation in school and national events, community outreach, and safety campaigns that promote public awareness.

Organizationally, NPCC operates through a national framework with school-based units. Local units are guided by school staff in collaboration with police officers and trained volunteers to ensure uniform standards, safety, and program integrity.

NPCC is regarded as a channel for youth development within Singapore's education system, contributing to character formation, leadership development, and public service ethos among adolescents.
