Height not requirement for cops

Published Jan 22, 2018 10:00 pm
By Chito A. Chavez The National Police Commission (Napolcom) has removed the height requirement for applicants who want to join the Philippine National Police (PNP). To qualify for the entrance examinations, which will start April 22, those aspiring to join the police force only need to be bachelor’s degree holders and be not more than 30 years old. This was revealed by Napolcom Vice-Chairman and Executive Officer Atty. Rogelio T. Casurao who also announced the activation of the On-Line Examination Application Scheduling System (OLEASS) in the websites, www.napolcom.gov.ph or www.napolcom-oleass.com, for the nationwide conduct of the PNP Entrance and Promotional Examinations. The online application schedule is on January 29 to  February 2 for PNP Entrance exam; February 5-9 for Police Officer (PO) exam; and February 12-16 for Senior Police Officer (SPO), Inspector (INSP) and Superintendent (SUPT) exams. The OLEASS shall be opened at 12 noon onwards on January 29 for the Entrance exam, February 5 for the PO exam and February 12 for the SPO, INSP and SUPT exams. Acceptance of applications shall be on a ‘first-come, first-served’ basis and, upon due notice, may be stopped even ahead of the deadline. “To expedite the processing of exam applications, the NAPOLCOM shall start implementing the enhanced OLEASS which now has features for on-line filling up, submission and printing out of an electronic exam application form,” Casurao said. Applicants with confirmed schedule shall be sent an auto-generated email informing them to access the on-link and enter all the required information in the application form. Only applicants with printed confirmation letter and filled-out electronic exam application form shall be entertained at the NAPOLCOM Regional Offices during their scheduled appointment date. The period of filing of application is from February 19 to March 19, 2018. The OLEASS allows entrance exam applicants to choose the examination center where they want to take the exam regardless of their place of residence. But for the promotional exam applicants, the examination center is automatically assigned by the computer system based on the home address or unit/assignment address provided by the police applicants. “These innovations in the administration of the Napolcom examinations is intended to streamline existing procedures geared towards fostering a more client-friendly frontline service delivery environment,” Casurao said. The PNP Entrance Examination is open to all Filipino citizens who are not more than 30 years old and bachelor’s degree holder. Police Officers I (PO1) whose appointments are temporary for lack of appropriate eligibility are also required to take said entrance exam. On the other hand, the Promotional Examinations are open exclusively to all qualified uniformed members of the PNP who meet the minimum qualification standards for examination in terms of rank and eligibility. Civilian applicants must bring the printed confirmation letter and electronic application form; two recent, identical and color 1”x1” ID pictures with white background and complete name tag (for PNP members, the name tag should indicate the rank before the name); one legal size window envelope with P17 worth of mailing stamps; transcript of scholastic record with Special Order issued by CHED and diploma; and birth certificate in security paper issued by the Philippine Statistics Authority (PSA) or certified true copy of the birth certificate issued by the Local Civil Registrar and duly authenticated by the PSA. For a PO1 with temporary appointment, a certified true copy of Attested Appointment, Plantilla Appointment or Special Order is also required for submission. Applicants for the Promotional Examinations should submit the first three requirements mentioned above; a certified true copy of Attested Appointment, Plantilla Appointment or PNP Absorption Order; and a Report of Rating/Certification issued by the NAPOLCOM Central Office, CSC Certificate of Eligibility and/or PRC Board Certificate.
