National Police Cadet Corps, Youth organization in Singapore.
The National Police Cadet Corps is a youth organization that trains students aged 13 to 17 in law enforcement principles, leadership skills, and community service activities. The program operates at 132 school units across Singapore and allows cadets to earn proficiency badges upon completing specific courses.
The organization began in 1959 with a single platoon of 30 cadets at Bartley Secondary School and received official recognition through Parliament in 1961. This early foundation grew into a nationwide program serving thousands of students.
Members participate in joint training exercises and educational visits to neighboring countries, building connections with international law enforcement organizations. These exchanges shape how young cadets view their role beyond their local community.
Training sessions occur weekly or twice weekly across different schools, making it easy for students to participate at a location near them. It helps to check the schedule with the specific school unit to plan your visit at the best time.
The organization operates Camp Resilience, a specialized facility where cadets engage in advanced training and emergency response drills. At this location, young participants develop practical skills in realistic conditions.
