Introduction

NPCC is organising a three-day attachment for Secondary Two and Three cadets to the Police K-9 Unit. Police K-9, one of the four units under the Special Operations Command (SOC), is a professional unit that complements police and other agencies like the Prison Department, the Immigration and Checkpoints Authority (ICA) and other Home Team Agencies in public order and security management, as well as maintenance of law and order.

This attachment programme is aimed at cultivating in our cadets, a love for animals, passion to serve the community and awareness of the Singapore Police Force in maintaining law and order.

Cadets will be given hands-on experience on the different aspect of police life at K-9 unit. They will have the opportunity to experience the partnership between dog-handlers and the working dogs in accomplishing their duties.

Criteria

The cadets must NOT be sensitive to dog fur. They must possess the right attitude and ready to involve themselves in “dirty jobs” like clearing dog faeces and cleaning kennels. All cadets must obtain parental consent before applying for the attachment. NPCC will conduct interview of cadets to assess their suitability to participate in this programme.
