Napolcom Vice Chairman and Executive Officer (VCEO) Vitaliano N. Aguirre II said the recruitment quota is based on what police units and regional police offices need.

“The Commission approved the PNP’s CY 2022 Regular and Attrition Recruitment Program for Patrolmen and Patrolwomen, which will be implemented in two cycles, considering that the distribution is based on police-to-population ratio; peace and order condition; and the actual demands of the functional area,” Aguirre said.

This year’s attrition and regular recruitment quota shall be distributed to the Police Regional Offices (PROs), as follows: PRO 1 (Ilocos Region)- 200; PRO 2 (Cagayan Valley Region)- 200; PRO 3 (Central Luzon)- 800; PRO 4A (Cavite, Laguna, Batangas Rizal, Quezon)- 200; PRO 4B (Oriental Mindoro, Occidental Mindoro, Marinduque, Romblon, Palawan)- 400; PRO 5 (Bicol)- 200; PRO 6 (Western Visayas)- 300; PRO7 (Central Visayas)- 600; PRO8 *Eastern Visayas)- 600; PRO9 (Zamboanga Region)- 200; PRO10 (Northern Mindanao)- 400; PRO11 (Southern Mindanao)- 300; PRO12 (Central Mindanao)- 200; PRO13 (CARAGA)- 600; PRO Cordillera- 200; PRO Bangsamoro Administrative Region- 400; NCRPO- 7,319; and MILF/MNLF- 1,460.

For the National Support Units (NSUs), the following is the allotment of the attrition and regular recruitment quota: Anti-Cybercrime Group- 200; Anti-Kidnapping Group- 100; Aviation Security Group- 100; Communications and Electronics Service- 200; Criminal Investigation and Detection Group- 200; Forensic Group- 200; Explosive Ordnance Disposal and Canine Group- 100; Engineering Service- 100; Highway Patrol Group- 200; Health Service- 400; Headquarters Support Service- 200; Intelligence Group- 100; Information Technology Management Service- 100; Legal Service- 100; Maritime Group- 600; National Police Training Institute- 200; PNP Retirement and Benefits Service- 200; Police Security and Protection Group- 200; and Special Action Force- 100.

Aguirre said all accomplished Psychological Assessment Test (PAT) forms shall be sealed in an envelope in order to preserve the integrity of PAT results and ensure that all information therein have not been altered. Likewise, in order to consider the validity of the PAT before publishing its results, the sealed envelope shall be opened and the result shall be published under the presence and supervision of Napolcom and PNP representatives.

Further, VCEO Aguirre reiterated that Chiefs of PNP Offices/Units and members of the Recruitment Screening Committee (RSC), including the head and members of the Secretariat, are required to strictly observe and comply with the rules and regulations in the recruitment, selection and appointment of Patrolman and Patrolwoman, as provided under NAPOLCOM Memorandum Circular No. ‪2021-001‬.

They are also obliged to follow the Inter-Agency Task Force on Emerging Infectious Diseases (IATF-EID) Guidelines. More importantly, the RSC must strictly follow the “sequential step” in the processing of the applications wherein only those who passed the previous stage shall be allowed to undergo the succeeding processes.
