The TCICC will motivate and encourage our cadets to strongly believe that they can follow any career path they desire, however, training in the Corps will be an asset to those considering a career in the Police, Fire and Prison services or the Immigration Department.

Adult instructors however may be called upon to serve the country and support law enforcement as Special Constables only in times of emergency and disaster.

Thanks to the support of the Government we can keep the costs of being FREE. There is no cost for attending weekend training camps, annual camps and other activities,.

Yes. On completion your Basic Cadet Training you will be issued with a uniform free of charge, which you will tasked with the responsibility of safeguarding and maintaining . All you need to buy is a good tin of KIWI shoe polish.

Each year, TCI cadets are invited to join an Annual Camp and go away with other cadets from all our companies for up to two weeks during the school/summer holidays. For most cadets, Annual Camp is the highlight of their cadetting life.
Each Annual Camp is different, but all cadets will get to learn new skills as well as put into practice some of the lessons they have learnt in detachments.

Failure to attend local camp will decrease your chances of being promoted. Additionally, failing to attend camp means that you would not have completed your star level and you will not earn any stars. There is a possibility that you will have to repeat the star level in the following year.
