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.
