With the support from 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 new-comer compared to other uniformed groups, to being one of the more well-established in terms of reputation, standards, and acceptability amongst the youths of Singapore and their parents.
The Commandant of NPCC is Supt. Mohd Redhza bin Abdul Rahim. The Chairman of the 14th NPCC Council is Mr. Michael Palmer, Speaker of Parliament and Member of Parliament for Punggol East SMC.
