Unit History and Background

Bukit View NPCC unit was formally incepted in 1986 when the school was first founded. Then led by Insp (NPCC) Mr. Chai Choon Kow, the unit played an active role in participating in various activities within the community and NPCC Headquarters. The boys in the unit would also be trained with Taekwondo.

Over the years however, a slight shift in focus from NPCC headquarters has further expanded its arsenal of activities and have since taken overseas Adventure Training Trips to surrounding coutries. BVSS NPCC unit has also slowly made its mark in the school's history progress and is becoming one of the most popular CCA in the school.

As the only uniformed youth group to enjoy close affiliation with the SPF, Bukit View NPCC cadets are actively engaged in activities organised in collaboration with the SPF. The approach is line with the units' overall goal to instil a greater sense of leadership and social responsibility among its cadets, ultimately developing its cadets into future leaders of tomorrow.

A Date With COPs

Nestled between the view of towering HDB flats, it would be easy to miss the normally quaint and serene background of Bukit Batok Community Club. On 9th November 2014 however, such an occurence would be unlikely. Marking the launch of Bukit Batok Neighbourhood Police Centre (NPC)'s roll out of Community Policing System, music ripped through the air, filling the atmosphere with a rhapsody of elation.

            First launched in May 2012, COPS is a transformation of the NPC policing model that builds on the success of Police’s community policing strategy and brings the Police closer to the community. 

            True to the spirit of strengthening ties and partnership with the community, Bukit Batok NPC partnered with no less than five NPCC units under its jurisdiction to partake in the grandeur. Led by Yusof Ishak Secondary School's NPCC unit, four other units consisting of Bukit View Secondary School, Dunearn Secondary School, Swiss Cottage Secondary school and Hillgrove Secondary School worked together to execute a precision drill performance for the audience.

            Toiling through hours of rigorous training, the cadets persevered through the momentum of footdrills and worked hard at putting up a fine display. Congratulating their hard work, the cheers by the crowd and the smile of Mdm. Halimah Yaacob, Singapore's Parliamentary Speaker, acted as a motivational factor for the cadets to continue serving the corps with pride.

            Strategically, the move by Bukit Batok NPC to involve NPCC in its ongoing plans and operations further reinforces the importance of building partnerships between the two bodies. Echoing NPCC's mission to work in partnership with Singapore Police Force to fight crime and keep Singapore safe, the cooperation between the two reassures SPF's belief in NPCC.

            For students of the schools involved, such an event provided a platform for them to showcase their often kept talent and engage themselves with the society. The smiles carved on the faces of the participating cadets subtly echoed Joseph Campbell's maxim of a hero being someone who has given his or her life to something bigger than oneself. For cadets especially, the opportunity presented is indeed an occurence in their life that they can never forget. While tomorrow would come and go, 9th November 2014 would remain etched in their memories.

NPCC Uniform

The NPCC uniform consists of an all-blue top and pants, the design very similar to those worn by police officers. In October 2009, the NPCC HQ had announced an organisational-wide change in certain uniform accoutrement to further distinguish the Corps from the Singapore Police Force, its parental organisation. The change includes the designs of head crest, buttons and epaulettes bearing the ranks of Cadet Inspectors and Senior Officers.

   The top consists of a dacron blue short sleeved shirt, with metal buttons bearing the NPCC Crest. Formation signs bearing the cadet's school are worn on both sleeves. Epaulettes bearing the cadet's rank are worn on the shoulders,all ranks of NPCC have the suffix (NPCC) to distinguish them from ranks of the SPF. The shirt is tucked in.

   A black leather belt is worn around the waist. Dacron blue pants (for boys) or skirt (for girls) forms the bottom of the uniform. The length of the pants cannot exceed the 2 boot lace line from the bottom. Black leather boots complete the uniform, with black socks pulled all the way up and worn on the inside. The toe cap, sides and back of the boots must be polished until one's reflection can be seen in it.

   Officers and Cadet Inspectors wear a peaked cap (for men) or round hat (for ladies). They also wear a pair of NPCC collar lapels. Formation signs are not worn and men are issued with zipper boots whereas ladies are issued with court shoes and normal boots.

   Officers may also wear the bush jacket - a tucked-out version of the uniform suitable for functions and ceremonies. However, the bush jacket is not applicable for drill sessions or parade participants.There are also other Orders of Dress available to Officers such as the No. 1 Ceremonial Uniform (available to all ranks), the No.2 mess kit and the No.5(T) Uniform. These follow closely the Orders of Dress of the Singapore Police Force.
