Question & AnswerQ&A (PNP CIRCULAR NO. 2006-007)
The main purpose is to develop a culture of excellence among all uniformed PNP personnel by correcting the attitude of mere compliance in mandatory career courses and promoting academic proficiency and professionalism.
Section 33 (a) of Republic Act 8551 mandates that a uniformed member of the PNP must satisfactorily complete the appropriate and accredited course in the PNPA or equivalent training institutions to be eligible for promotion.
The TLL is a priority list of all uniformed personnel due to take mandatory career courses, which is formulated, maintained, and updated by the DHRDD through the Training and Education Information System (TEIS).
They may still take the next higher career course provided they pass a written test, physical fitness test, and any other tests or requirements as deemed necessary by the Chief PNP.
They will automatically lose their priority in the TLL, meaning their names will be listed at the bottom, affecting their chances for promotion and training opportunities.
Justifiable reasons include sickness or physical incapacity certified by health officials, pending criminal or administrative cases, death of an immediate family member requiring presence, and disasters or calamities affecting attendance.
Candidates must submit a folder with authenticated documents including results of qualifying exams, PNP PDS, medical certificate, neuro/psychological exam, affidavit of non-pending case, eligibility documents, college diploma, and previous career course diplomas and orders of merit.
The Director of the Human Resource and Doctrine Development Division (DHRDD) in coordination with the PPSC or the PNPTS has the authority to approve the opening and scheduling of these courses.
Excellence is defined as the quality or state of being outstanding and superior.
The PNP ensures this by following the defined procedures in the Circular, including maintaining the TLL, administering qualifying tests, and processing applications through DHRDD to select only the best and brightest personnel.
