Training and Development is a strategic system aimed to develop and improve
staff performance and skills through an organized, innovative, and well-focused

On
February 3, 2022, the Directorate for Human Resource and Doctrine Development
(DHRDD) issued guidelines for the conduct of qualifying examinations for
mandatory career courses.
The
examination’s difficulty level is determined by the specific mandatory career
course that each personnel must take. The examinations will cover the following
areas:
For
PNCO
a.
General Knowledge;
b.
Personnel Policies and other Human Resource Actions;
c.
Intelligence and Investigation
d. Revised Police Operational Procedures; and
e. CMC NLE 2022.
For
PCO
a.
Personnel Decorum under PNP Ethical Doctrine Manual;
b.
Customs and Tradition under PNP Ethical Doctrine Manual;
c.
Drills and Ceremonies under PNP Ethical Doctrine Manual;
d. Revised Police
Operational Procedures;
e. CMC NLE 2022;
f. CIMOP (for PSOSEC) under PNP MC 2020-081; and
g. CSW (for PSOSEC & PSOAC) under PNP MC 2014-059.
However,
any PNP member may be attrited or warrant attrition for failure to pass the
examination. The following elements must concur:
b. A PNP member failed to pass twice the examination required for a mandatory career course, and
b. Such a mandatory course is required for his/her promotion to a higher rank.
To
pass the qualifying exam, you have to read, read, and read (the above cited coverage
with reference link provided) with understanding because there is no substitute
for reading. As Atty. Reynold Villania said, “Ang dapat gawin ng mga pulis
ay mag-aral, magbasa, maghanda at huwag pakoya-koyakoy sa mga training.”
b.
Specialized Training. These are
training programs aimed at providing members of the PNP, particularly uniformed
personnel of the different NSUs and PROs from headquarters down to the precinct
levels, with essential knowledge and specialized skills in the administrative,
technical, and operational fields of police service.
These
training programs ensure the effective and efficient discharge of their duties
and responsibilities as members of the organization and help instill discipline,
integrity, and proper work ethics required to be professional police public
servants.
Integrated Training Program
for Non-Uniformed Personnel (ITP-NUP).
Aims to facilitate the development of the individual NUP so they can function and operate in a skillful and professional manner.
The ITP-NUP has a duration of 33 days divided into three major phases:
|
Phase I. Foundational Courses |
• Orientation Module (Optional) • Team Building Workshop • Basic Customer Service Skills • Public Service Ethics and Accountability • Competency Enhancement Program on Personnel Mechanism |

Foreign-Assisted Training.
Foreign training is designed to bring together a combination of participants from various countries to share expertise, impart knowledge, foster diplomatic relations between nations, seek to promote cooperation and communication between foreign law enforcement personnel and foster capacity building development.
It is classified into two categories:
a. Abroad/Overseas Training
Program. Sponsors from different countries offer a wide variety of learning
opportunities like training, seminar, study grant, research, observation tour and
other related mission conducted at the host country. Invitation from other
countries also includes the participation of PNP personnel in international
sports, cultural, and religious activities; and
b. In-Country Training Program. Various countries composed of different organizations and foreign counterparts are working in partnership with the PNP to create a variety of police training and capacity building development programs throughout the country. Most of the sponsoring countries focus their initiatives on building the PNP’s law enforcement capacity giving premium on terrorism, counter-intelligence, and Chemical, Biological, Radiological and Nuclear Defense (CBRN) related trainings.
