October 23, 2013

NAPOLCOM RESOLUTION NO. 501-13

PRESCRIBING THE QUALIFICATION STANDARDS FOR APPOINTMENT TO PNP RANKS

WHEREAS, Section 14 of Republic Act No. 6975, as amended, provides that the National Police Commission (NAPOLCOM) shall exercise administrative control and operational supervision over the Philippine National Police (PNP);

WHEREAS, in the exercise of its constitutional mandate the NAPOLCOM issued Resolution No. 2011-196, entitled, "Prescribing the Qualification Standards for Appointment to PNP Ranks" which was confirmed by the Civil Service Commission (CSC) through Resolution No. 1101479;

WHEREAS, it should be recalled that there were provisions under the dispositive portion of NAPOLCOM Resolution No. 2011-196 which were excluded in the CSC Resolution No. 11-01479 that approved the said NAPOLCOM issuance;

WHEREAS, there is a need to amend the qualifications standards prescribed therein in order to reconcile the said issuances and to immediately address the prevailing vacuum in officership brought about by the lack of qualified officers as a result of the increase in the Experience/Time-in-Grade requirement as provided for under NAPOLCOM Resolution No. 2011-196;

NOW, THEREFORE, the Commission in the exercise of its constitutional mandate to administer and control the PNP, HAS RESOLVED TO PRESCRIBE, AS IT HEREBY PRESCRIBES, the Qualification Standards for Appointment to PNP Ranks: acITSD
