UNIFORMED GROUPS

NATIONAL POLICE CADET CORPS ( NPCC )

The SJI NPCC has soared to a whole new level with all the eminent achievements and paramount successes . With unified efforts and a never-say-die mindset , we have endured tumultuous times with the end goal in mind . This has given us the edge , to hit our targets and make our mark on history . Apart from the regular activities , many opportunities such as competitions and games are organised for cadets to bond . Though young with only 42 years of experience at hand , it is definite that the SJI NPCC will continue its fine job to nurture cadets with values and skills to overcome the challenges of life .
Cadet Inspectors In order for the unit to run effectively and smoothly , Cadet Inspectors ( CIs ) devoted their precious time to come down during trainings to ensure that the training is held well . Without this group of dedicated Cadet Inspectors , the unit would not have got this far . This group of committed Cadet Inspectors consists of CI Ian Tjahjono and joining this group , are CI Haswan Ade Iskandar and CI Ryan Lai Chi Ming .
Sadly , CI Javier Ler and CI Wong Jian Zhi will be leaving us this year . They have contributed so much to this unit and we cannot thank them enough . We wish them all the best in their future ventures and undertakings .
Achievements Since the establishment of SJI NPCC in 1971 , it has advanced and improved significantly throughout the many years under different batches , reaching greater heights . In 2013 , SJI NPCC has yet again achieved the prestigious Gold Award for the Unit Overall Proficiency Award ( UOPA ). This was due to the hard work of the cadets and once again proves the high capabilities of the SJI NPCC unit . Apart from that , SJI NPCC has also achieved a commendable 16th place for the NPCC Annual Shooting Competition out of the many schools in Singapore . Moreover , the highly admired and respected SPF - NPCC award was attained by 6 of our cadets who displayed great leadership qualities and outstanding achievements . The number of awardees from the SJI NPCC is increasing and is the highest to date .
