National Police Cadet Corps (NPCC)

National Police Cadet Corps (NPCC) was first formed in Singapore in 1959.
Since its humble beginnings in Bartley Secondary School with just 30 cadets, NPCC has emerged as one of the largest Uniformed Youth Organizations (UYO) with more than 20, 000 cadets.

The Mission of NPCC is to develop our members to be active citizens and community leaders; by working in partnership with the Singapore Police Force to fight crime and keep Singapore safe.

The Vision of NPCC is to become the best youth organisation in Singapore; one that actively helps to make Singapore the safest place in the world.

By focusing on our mission and objectives, we believe that:

We can grow from strength to strength, both as a cadet and as a person.
We can develop leadership qualities, civic and moral values that would be essential to success in life.
We will understand better the role of the Singapore Police Force, thus being able to spread word of Crime Prevention.
We will learn to treat fellow cadets with respect, courtesy and tact.
Through our constant interaction with the Singapore Police Force, we learn to adopt their high standards of performance, duty and service to the Nation.
