These Gurkhas possess the qualities best suited to service in the Contingent, specifically: physical and mental robustness, resourcefulness and an uncomplaining dependability.
Today, the GC carries out many diverse roles for the Singapore Police Force (SPF). These roles are still very much related to the security tasks for which GC was originally formed.
Mission
To react rapidly and decisively in support of SPF operations.
Roles / Functions
As a world-class security unit, tough, vigilant, and steadfast, fully trained and manned, and employing the traditional Gurkha to the best of his natural abilities, the GC is to achieve operational success across the spectrum of para-military operations to help safeguard Singapore.
