context_page_description: The National Police Cadet Corps is one of the national uniformed group for youths in Singapore. As of 2011, the organisation has 16,185 members, with 14,850 of them being cadets. With the support of two ministries, namely the Ministry of Education and the Ministry of Home Affairs, the latter of which the Singapore Police Force is part of, the organisation has grown from being a relative newcomer compared to other uniformed groups, to being one of the more well-established ones in terms of reputation, standards, and acceptability among the youths of Singapore and their parents.
  The current Commandant of NPCC is Superintendent of Police Hoo Poh Heng.
  The Chairperson of the 2nd Home Team Corps Council, overseeing NPCC, is Associate Professor Stephen Phua Lye Huat from the Law Faculty of the National University of Singapore.
context_section_description: The following ranks are the ranks that NPCC cadets can attain as a secondary school student. The criteria for promotion to the next rank (e.g.: attainment of proficiency badges, attendance rate, etc.) are decided differently among units. After a cadet has gone through his unit's Cadet Leader Camp, the cadet will be appointed as a Cadet Leader (also known as Non-Commissioned Officer) in his unit (e.g.: Unit OIC, Unit Drill Instructor, etc.) All cadets will step down after going through their Area's Passing-Out Parade before they take their GCE 'O' Level Examinations or equivalent.
