Today’s module deals with Powers and functions of the NAPOLCOM. We will be discussing the powers and functions of the NAPOLCOM and its relation to our Philippine National Police, its legal basis and also its mandate. B.MAIN LESSON Activity 1. Content Notes The NAPOLCOM traces its roots from the creation of the Police Commission (POLCOM) under Republic Act 4864 (Police Act of 1966). It was reorganized as the National Police Commission (NAPOLCOM) in 1972 The NAPOLCOM was under the Office of the President before being transferred to the Ministry of National Defense in 1975 by virtue of Presidential Decree 765 (Police Integration Law). In 1980, the agency was returned to the Office of the President by Executive Order No. 1040. In 1990, with the establishment of the Philippine National Police (PNP), the present NAPOLCOM was created within the newly reorganized Department of the Interior and Local Government (DILG) under Republic Act No. 6975. The agency's authority was further strengthened and expanded by Republic Act No. 8551, otherwise known as 'Philippine National Police Reform and Reorganization Act of 1998'.

The attachment of NAPOLCOM to DILG preserves its independence as the sole administrator and controller of the national police force under Article XVI, Section 6 of the 1987 Philippine Constitution. Legal Basis The Philippine Constitution provides that “The State shall establish and maintain one police force, which shall be national in scope and civilian in character, to be administered and controlled by a national police commission….” Republic Act No. 6975 (December 13, 1990), otherwise known as the “Department of the Interior and Local Government Act of 1990”, created the National Police Commission (NAPOLCOM). Republic Act No. 8551 (February 25, 1998) amended RA 6975, reconstituting the NAPOLCOM National Appellate Board into a single appellate body. Mandate The National Police Commission (NAPOLCOM) administers and controls the Philippine National Police (PNP), advises the President on all matters involving police functions and administration, and renders to the President and to Congress an annual report on its activities and accomplishments. It also recommends to the President a crime prevention program.

Answer: The NAPOLCOM exam consists of two types: the Entrance Exam and the Promotional Exam. The Entrance Exam is for those who aspire to become police officers and have not yet joined the PNP. It tests the applicants’ abilities in communication skills, logical reasoning, quantitative reasoning, and general knowledge. On the other hand, the Promotional Exam is for active members of the PNP who want to advance their career to a higher rank. It measures their knowledge, skills, and competence in the duties and responsibilities of their current rank and the rank they are aiming for.
