NATIONAL POLICE CADET CORPS

1999 - Present

National Police Cadet Corps had endured many challenges and grown and matured with the nation. NPCC activities have always been able to complement classroom lessons with life-skills that help students adapt and thrive in a rapidly changing environment. Programmes were reviewed and improved to hone leadership skills, increase mental capabilities, build physical resilience and to teach them to respect our environment and serve the community.

1999
Marked 40 years of NPCC history. A 40th anniversary logo was launched together with the Inauguration Ceremony of the 10th NPCC Council.

NPCC History Book was launched. The book aims to inspire NPCC members, cadets, officers as well as potential cadets who would like to become part of the Corps as it showed the growth and development of the Corps in its first 40 years of being.

2000
Registered in 1999 and formed in 2000, the NPCC Alumni was launched to provide an avenue for ex-members to stay connected to NPCC.

2003
The first two sea units were inaugurated in conjunction with the Police Coast Guard Loyang Regional Base in January 2003. The formation of the sea unit allows cadets to develop a love for sea-based activities, to understand the importance of maritime services in national defence and hopefully to provide them with the option in maritime industry.

NPCC developed its own website in the hope of being an effective channel for corporate communications and a portal to provide useful information for members and non-members alike.
