Following the order of President Ferdinand R.

These programs reinforce the administration’s goal of a motivated, professional, and highly competent police force that can efficiently and effectively serve the Filipino people.
During this period, the PNP Directorate for Human Resource and Doctrine Development (DHRDD) successfully conducted 56 career courses nationwide, benefiting a total of 2,738 personnel. These included 183 participants in the Public Safety Officers Senior Executive Course (PSOSEC), Public Safety Officers Advance Course (PSOAC), and Public Safety Officers Basic Course (PSOBC), as well as 2,555 participants in various leadership programs such as the Public Safety Officers Candidate Course (PSOCC) and the Public Safety Senior and Junior Leadership Courses.
These training initiatives aim to strengthen the operational competence, leadership capability, and overall readiness of our police personnel in fulfilling their duties to serve and protect the public.
In addition to career courses, 354 specialized trainings were conducted across administrative, intelligence, investigation, operational, and police-community relations categories, engaging 16,539 participants.
All these initiatives fall under the PNP’s Focus Agenda on morale and welfare, highlighting the importance of cultivating a trained and well-equipped police organization.
Acting Chief PNP Police Lieutenant General Jose Melencio C. Nartatez Jr. emphasized, “Investing in the training and development of our personnel is not just an operational necessity, it is a commitment to the Filipino people. The strength of the PNP does not come from numbers alone, but from the quality, commitment, and character of our men and women in uniform.”
PNP Spokesperson Police Brigadier General Randulf T. Tuaño added, “Each training completed is an investment in public trust. By continuously enhancing our skills and professionalism, we ensure that every police response reflects excellence and every action earns the confidence of the community we serve.”
Through these programs, the PNP demonstrates its firm commitment to maintaining a professional, capable, and citizen-focused police force, fully aligned with the vision of the Bagong PNP in the Bagong Pilipinas.
