Did you know? NPCC is a National Uniformed Group under the purview of the Ministry of Education and the Singapore Police Force, Ministry of Home Affairs. It also has a long history, having celebrated its 60th Anniversary in 2019.
To be a Cadet Inspector, you will need to be a student from a post-secondary education institution and had previously been an NPCC cadet in your secondary school.
To be an Honorary Officer, you would need to join through open units associated with a tertiary education institute e.g. NUS and NTU. Alternatively, adult leaders may be recommended for the scheme by the Officer-in-Charge or Staff Officer of the Unit or HQ respectively.
You can apply directly, in consultation with your NPCC unit Officer-in-Charge. If you are a student in either NUS or NTU, you can join the NPCC Units at your university directly.
NPCC has played a vital role in the Police’s community engagement strategy. NPCC has helped to develop its cadets to be active citizens and community leaders, by working in partnership with SPF, to fight crime and keep Singapore safe. Through this strong partnership with SPF, the Police’s purpose and core values are instilled in our NPCC members and shared with the wider community through the NPCC’s community outreach programmes.
Today, the NPCC continues to play a significant role in a whole-of-community approach in tackling challenges such as terrorism and cyber-threats. The NPCC has included SGSecure training in the enhanced Home Front Security Programme, allowing cadets to better understand Singapore’s security threats, and equipping them with emergency response skills.
With the increasing need for digital defence as a new, sixth pillar of Total Defence, NPCC has also collaborated with the SPF CyberCrime Command to pilot the CyberCrime Prevention Programme in schools.
