Napolcom Regional Office Calabarzon The NAPOLCOM Regional Office 4A exercises administrative control and operational supervision over PNP Offices, Stations and Units within its jurisdiction.

HISTORY

In 1966, Congress enacted Republic Act 4864 otherwise known as the Police Act of 1966 to provide the foundation for the much needed police reforms in the country. It created the POLICE COMMISSION (Polcom) “to achieve and attain a higher degree of efficiency in the organization, administration and operation of local police agencies; and to place the local police service on a professional level.”

Since 1966, the Commission had undergone changes in its organizational structure. It was reorganized in 1972 as the National Police Commission (Napolcom). Originally under the Office of the President, it was transferred to the Ministry of National Defense in 1975 by virtue of Presidential Decree 765, known as the Police Integration Law. This Decree also established the Integrated National Police (INP) with the Philippine Constabulary (PC) as the nucleus. Ten (10) years later in 1985, it was returned to the Office of the President pursuant to Executive Order No. 1040. In 1989, Executive Order No. 379 placed the INP directly under the “command, supervision and control of the President.”

The same executive order vested the National Police Commission with the powers of administrative control and supervision over the INP. With the passage of Republic Act No. 6975 on December 13, 1990, the Philippine National Police (PNP) was established under a reorganized Department of the Interior and Local Government (DILG). A new National Police Commission was created within the DILG “ for the purpose of effectively discharging the functions prescribe in the Constitution and provided in the Act.”

On February 25, 1998, Congress passed into law Republic Act No. 8551 otherwise known as the "Philippine National Police Reform and Reorganization Act of 1998“ thus, amending RA 6975. This Act strengthened and expanded the Commission’s authority over the PNP to include administration of police entrance examination, conduct of pre-charge investigation against police anomalies and irregularities and summary dismissal of erring police members.

READ | PRESS RELEASE: NAPOLCOM Exam Questions Revised to Counter Diploma Mill Schools. NAPOLCOM Successfully Administers Nationwide PNP Entrance and Promotional Examinations

The National Police Commission (NAPOLCOM) successfully administered the Philippine National Police (PNP) Entrance and Promotional Examinations this morning, October 18, across designated testing centers nationwide, reaffirming its commitment to merit-based recruitment and promotion in the police service.

A total of 41,566 civilian and police examinees took the tests, which ran from 8:00 a.m. to 11:00 a.m. NAPOLCOM officials and personnel from the Central and Regional Offices oversaw the conduct of the examinations to ensure an orderly, secure, and credible testing process.

NAPOLCOM Commissioner Ralph Calinisan underscored the desire of the Commission to only recruit the best applicants.

"All exam questions in this cycle are new. We made it a point to change the exams to really test the competency of police applicants and promotables. This is part of our process to make sure that those who enter the police force, and stay in the force, are the best of the best. This will w**d out graduates from diploma mill schools," Calinisan said

Calinisan also aired an appeal to Criminology Schools. "Relatedly, we are also calling on the Criminology Schools to seriously revisit their curricula. There should now be a focus on cybercriminology, as crimes are now being done online. We are no longer living in an archaic world. Everyone in the world is interconnected. Our police force must also be able to adapt to this changing landscape," added Calinisan.

He further underscored the responsibility that comes with entering or advancing in the police organization.

“Ang pagiging pulis ay hindi lamang tungkol sa pagpasok o pag-angat sa ranggo. Ito ay pagtanggap ng mas malaking pananagutan sa sambayanan. Kaya tungkulin ng NAPOLCOM na tiyaking ang bawat pagkakataong makapasok at umangat sa serbisyo ay nakabatay sa kakayahan, integridad, at kahandaang maglingkod. Ang tiwala ng taumbayan ay kailangang pagtrabahuhan at patunayan araw-araw.”

The official results are expected to be released within forty-five (45) days. Those who pass will qualify for inclusion in the pool of eligibles for PNP recruitment or promotion, as applicable, helping strengthen the PNP’s capacity to deliver professional, accountable, and people-centered service.
