Academy History

-








The Philippine National Police Academy (PNPA) was created in pursuit of professionalizing public safety service in the country. It found its existence in various executive and legislative issuances.

  • Presidential Decree 1184  known as the Integrated National Police Personnel Professionalization Act of 1977 provides the first mention of the PNPA as a service training institution for police and fire personnel under the then Integrated National Police (INP) Service.
  • Presidential Decree 1780  (Providing the Philippine National Police Academy with an Academic Charter and Expanding its Curricular Programs), the PNPA was provided with its own academic charter in order to enhance and professionalize the Integrated National Police. It was this law that termed the PNPA as the premier educational institution of the INP responsible for the development, conduct and administration of the Cadetship Program of the Integrated National Police, with the view of providing the preparatory education necessary for the development of potential officers imbued with the professional competence and management leadership qualities and skills compatible with the dynamic role of the Integrated National Police in public safety and social defense.
  • Republic Act 6975  otherwise known as DILG Act of 1990 provides for organizational changes in the PNPA and other service training institutions in the country. Under this law, the PNPA was transferred to the Philippine Public Safety College (PPSC). Meanwhile RA 8551 (Philippine National Police Reform and Reorganization Act of 1998) recognizes the role of the PNPA graduates in terms of qualification standard of Chief of City and Municipal Police stations in the country. It likewise recognizes the PNPA's role in the promotional standard among qualified uniformed members of the PNPA.
  • Republic Act 11279 , an amendatory law of RA 6975, the PNPA organizational control and management was transferred from the Philippine Public Safety College (PPSC) to the Philippine National Police (PNP). This law recognizes the PNPA as the premier institution for police education and the primary source for commission of police lieutenants. The said law allows the transition of five (5) years from its effectiveness to continuously accommodate cadets of the Bureau of Fire Protection (BFP) and the Bureau of Jail Management and Penology (BJMP) until such time that separate academies will be provided for the said bureaus.

PNPA Leadership

-
  The ideals of Justice, Integrity, and Service in All We Do are ingrained in all members of the PNP Academy family, not just the cadets. The PNPA PCOs, PNCOs, NUPs, and Faculty that oversee and instruct the Academy's cadets also serve as examples of these ideals. Each Leader, from the Director of the PNPA to the Dean of Academics to the Commandant of the Cadets down the line, each Leader is committed to the goal of creating future leaders with an understanding of public safety leadership in order to serve the nation and the Filipino people.
