About NPCC

OUR HISTORY

In 1959 a pilot scheme was launched whereby a Police Cadet Corps (PCC) Unit was set up on an experimental basis. Bartley Secondary School formed the first unit with 30 cadets and a teacher officer.

On 2 Jun 1961, the Police Cadet Corps Ordinance was enacted. All schools were given approval to set up PCC units. Siglap Secondary School and Serangoon Garden Government High School were the first to form such units.

The PCC and the National Cadet Corps (NCC) came under the administration of the Ministry of Education (MOE) with the Director of Education as the Director of Cadet Forces in 1963 and in the following year, the PCC recruited girl cadets. Two new units were formed in the Raffles' Girls' Secondary School and Sang Nila Utama Secondary School.

Formation signs were introduced for unit identity in 1968. In 1969, with the integration of PCC, Army, Air & Sea, the PCC was renamed National Cadet Corps (Police).

In 1970, Cadet Inspectors' unit was formed from students in Pre-u classes. The NCC (Police) was renamed National Police Cadet Corps (NPCC) in 1971. The NPCC band was also formed in the same year.

In 1972, the "grey and khaki" uniform was changed to the present blue. In 1974, the NPCC Council was established by an Act of Parliament. On 1 Apr 1975, the NPCC Council was inaugurated by the Minister for Education.

In 1976, the NPCC Band recruited girl cadets.The NPCC service medals and clasps were introduced for officers in 1979 and a year later, Proficiency Badges were introduced.
