PHILIPPINE NATIONAL POLICE
● The Philippine National Police (PNP) (Filipino : Pambansang Pulisya ng
Pilipinas) is the national police force of the Republic of the Philippines. It is
both a national and a local police force in that it provides all law
enforcement services throughout the Philippines.
● The Philippine National Police (PNP) originated from the Philippine
Constabulary or the PC, which was inaugurated on August 8, 1901,
establishing it as an insular police force under the American regime. On
August 8, 1975, Presidential Decree no. 765 was issued, establishing the
Philippine Constabulary Integrated National Police or the PC/INP as the
country’s national police force. These fragmented and diverse local
police units were integrated into a national police force with the
Philippine Constabulary as its nucleus.
● After the People’s Revolution in 1986, a new Constitution was
promulgated providing for a police force, which is “national in scope and
civilian in character.” Consequently, Republic Act No. 6975 entitled, “An
Act Establishing the Philippine National Police under a Reorganized
Department of the Interior and Local government (DILG),” was signed into
law on December 13, 1990, which took effect on January 1, 1991.
Subsequently, the PNP was operational on January 29, 1991, whose
members were formerly the PC and the INP and the absorption of the
selected members from the major service units of the Armed Forces of the
Philippines such as the Philippine Air Force Security Command, the
Philippine Coast Guard, Philippine Navy, and the Philippine Army.
● Thus, to further strengthen the PNP into a highly efficient and competent
police force, Republic Act No. 8551 entitled “PNP Reform and the
Reorganization Act of 1998” was enacted on February 17, 1998,
amending certain provisions of Republic Act No. 6975.
PNP MANDATE
● Republic Act 6975 entitled An Act Establishing the Philippine National
Police under a reorganized Department of the Interior and Local
Government and Other Purposes as amended by RA 8551 Philippine
National Police Reform and Reorganization Act of 1998 and further
amended by RA 9708.
