Many Filipinos aspire to join the ranks of the Philippine National Police (PNP) and become police officers. Being a police officer can be a rewarding and satisfying career. If you dream of becoming a police officer and serving the country with honor and distinction, then you should take the NAPOLCOM exam (PNP entrance exam) which is conducted twice a year.

The first step to joining the PNP is to take and pass the PNP entrance exam. The exam, which is conducted by the National Police Commission (NAPOLCOM), is open to able-bodied and qualified Filipinos who wish to serve the country as police officers.

Those who pass the NAPOLCOM exam or PNP entrance exam will become eligible for appointment as patrolman or patrolwoman with the rank of Police Officer 1 (PO1) pursuant to Section 30 of Republic Act 6975 as amended by Republic Act 8551.

PNP Recruitment Qualifications

Before you think about taking the NAPOLCOM exam, you should first know if you’re qualified to become a PNP police officer. The following are the minimum required qualifications for appointment as an officer or member of the PNP, in accordance with Section 14 of Republic Act 8551:

  • Filipino citizen
  • With good moral character
  • Must possess a baccalaureate (bachelor’s) degree from a recognized college or university
  • Must be at least 1.62 meters (5’4″) in height for males and 1.57 meters (5’2″) in height for females
  • Must be not less than 21 and not more than 30 years of age
  • Must weigh not more or less than 5 kg from the standard weight corresponding to height, age and sex
  • Must have no pending criminal case in any court, including the Ombudsman if applicant is a government employee
  • Must not have been convicted by final judgment of any crime or offense involving moral turpitude
  • Must not have been dishonorably discharged from employment in the military or gone AWOL or dropped from the rolls of the PNP or dismissed for cause from any civilian position in the Philippine government
  • Must have passed the physical, medical, dental, psychological/psychiatric, and drug tests by the PNP Health Service and Crime Lab Group or by any government hospital accredited by the NAPOLCOM
  • Must be eligible in accordance with standards set by NAPOLCOM

If you meet all the aforementioned qualifications, then great, you are eligible to take the NAPOLCOM exam.

By the way, you can still apply for and take the NAPOLCOM exam even if you don’t meet the height requirements. However, you’ll still need to meet the height requirements to be accepted to the PNP since it’s mandated by Republic Act 6975.

The height requirements for members of indigenous communities are 1.52 meters (5’0″) for males and 1.45 meters (4’9″) for females. Applicants who are members of indigenous communities are required to submit a certification of tribal membership issued by the National Commission on Indigenous Peoples (NCIP) or the National Commission on Muslim Filipinos. A height waiver issued by the NAPOLCOM is also acceptable.
