Three lawmakers have filed House Bill No. 7686 that would allow the PNP to recruit experts from technical fields that will strengthen its law enforcement capabilities. | GabrielLaluINQ
The bill authors also want professionals in the field of guidance and counseling, sports medicine, veterinary medicine, mechanical engineers, medical technologists, metallurgical engineers, nurses, nutritionists and dieticians, optometrists, physical therapists, psychologists, psychometricians, social workers, IT professionals, and forensic science graduates.
The technical experts could be admitted to the PNP provided that they have the appropriate Professional Regulation Commission license or Civil Service Professional eligibility. The bill will also amend the Department of the Interior and Local Government Act of 1990 so that the initial rank of PNP Academy graduates would be police lieutenant, instead of the current police inspector. The same rank will be applied to those who get into the PNP through the lateral entry program.
“This amendment to the law will give Police Non-Commissioned Officers and Non-Uniformed Personnel who are already in the service for at least five years and have obtained their PRC and CSP eligibility the opportunity to be appointed to the higher rank of Police Lieutenant,” the statement said “Under the bill, the PNCO should at least hold the rank of Police Staff Sergeant, and the NUP in a position with Salary Grade 14, to be able to qualify for the appointment.”
