PNP Lateral Entry Program for Line and Technical Officers CY 2023
What is a Lateral Entry Program in the PNP?
According to NAPOLCOM Memorandum Circular No. 2018-002, Lateral Entry is a provision of law that
allows the appointment of Police Commissioned Officers (PCOs) to fill-up the
vacancies for the LINE and TECHNICAL service positions in the PNP.
It excludes the lateral entry of graduates of PNPA.
There are two types of Lateral Entry:
1. Line Service Position/Line Officers
2. Technical Service Position/Technical Officers
When we say technical service positions refer to positions requiring highly
technical qualifications in the PNP technical services, such as dentist, optometrists, nurses, engineers, and
graduates of forensic sciences, licensed
criminologists, doctors of medicine, members of the Bar, and chaplains and among others.
Line service position, on
the other hand, it refers to designations/positions performing essential and
purely police functions, i.e. law enforcement, crime prevention and security
operations, intelligence, investigation, training, and police community
relations.
Based
on the Civil Service Commission (CSC) Index of Occupational Services (IOS) the
following shall be the Qualification Standards for Technical Officers:
