- The Student Police Cadet (SPC) Project is a high school-based initiative by Kerala Police, implemented jointly by the Departments of Home and Education, and supported by Departments of Transport, Forest, Excise and Local Self-Government. Student Police Cadet Project was initiated in 2010, as a joint program of education, health, transport, forest, excise, tribal development and local self-governments. This well designed two-year long training programme, enables high school students to sharpen their physical, emotional, intelligence, social and skills quotients through a wide range of activities such as exercises, parade, route march, unarmed compact yoga and community projects. The project trains high school students to respect the laws, practice discipline, and to develop civic consciousness and empathy for vulnerable sections of society. It also strengthens commitment towards the family, community, and the environment, enabling them to resist negative tendencies such as substance abuse, deviant behaviour, intolerance, and other social evils. The Project launched on 2 August 2010 in 127 high schools/higher secondary schools across Kerala, with 11,176 students, both boys and girls, enrolled as Cadets and 254 teachers trained as school-level Community Police Officers (CPOs). In 2012, the project was expanded to cover a total of 249 high schools across Kerala, with a combined strength of nearly 16,000 SPCs and 500 CPOs. As of 30 August 2022, the project is active in 1,000 schools in Kerala, with more than 83,000 students currently undergoing training and more than 200,000 students having completed training. Since its national roll out in 2018[4], the Student Police Cadet Project is now active in 12,000 schools across India with 900,000 students under training. (en)
