Policy purpose and institutional use

  • The rules provide the basis for the formulation and institutionalization of the Training Lineal List (TLL) for PCOs.
  • The TLL is intended to give equal opportunities to police officers in taking a mandatory career course.
  • The TLL serves as a guide on when police officers will undergo a particular mandatory career course.
  • The TLL establishes an institutional mechanism for selecting candidates based on qualified status and priority criteria.

Key definitions for TLL operation

  • Training Lineal List (TLL) is an official computer generated priority list of police officers qualified to undergo mandatory schooling.
  • Mandatory Career Courses/Trainings are courses where failure to take them results in disqualification for promotion to the next higher rank despite compliance with other promotion qualification standards.
  • The mandatory career courses are:
    • PSOSEC;
    • PSOAC;
    • PSOBC; and
    • PSOOC.
  • Equivalent Course means a course not conducted by the Philippine Public Safety College (PPSC) but accredited and considered equivalent because its Program of Instruction (POI) is very similar to the corresponding mandatory career course.
  • The Circular recognizes these equivalent courses:
    • GSC is an equivalent of PSOSEC;
    • PIOAC, Finance Officers Advance Course, and Technical Service Officers’ Advance Course (TSOAC) are equivalents of PSOAC;
    • PIOC and Finance Officer Basic Course (FOBC) are equivalents of PSOOC;
    • AFP Officers Candidate Course (AFPOCC) and Probationary 2nd LT Training Course are equivalents of PSOOC;
    • Other similar courses that the PNP, PPSC, and the PNPTS may consider offering in the future, including:
      • Police Human Resource Management Basic and Advance Courses; and
      • other specialized courses depending on PNP training needs.
  • Qualified for Schooling refers to PNP personnel who have successfully complied with schooling requirements.
  • Candidates for Schooling are PNP personnel who are due to undergo a mandatory career course/training because they belong at the top of the TLL.
  • Seniority is the relative status of a police officer in the PNP hierarchy based on rank, time in grade, and the like.
  • Rank is the relative status of a police officer in the PNP hierarchy.
  • Date of Graduation is the date when an officer has successfully complied with requirements of a particular mandatory career course.
  • Mandatory Pre-Requisite Course is the mandatory career course that immediately precedes a higher mandatory career course and must be taken by an officer before the officer can be qualified and allowed to take the higher course.
  • Order of Merit is the relative ranking of police officers in the same class in a particular mandatory career course based, among others, on:
    • grades in academics;
    • practical exercises; and
    • physical fitness test.

Three-phase TLL formulation and governance

  • The formulation, implementation, and updating of the TLL shall be conducted in three (3) phases: Phase 1, Phase 2, and Phase 3.
  • Phase 1 – Formulation: The initial TLL is based on parameters arranged in this order of priority:
    • Rank;
    • Time-in Grade;
    • Length of Service (as an Officer);
    • Date of graduation from the latest mandatory schooling; and
    • Order of Merit in the latest mandatory schooling.
  • Phase 2 – Implementation: After formulation, the initial TLL shall be disseminated to all units/offices to ensure officers have the opportunity to correct/rectify errors or discrepancies in their rankings.
  • Officers in the upper bracket of the TLL shall be given priority and considered candidates to take the mandatory career schooling/training.
  • In coordination with the PPSC, the DHRDD shall yearly program:
    • the number of courses to be opened;
    • the number of classes per course;
    • the number of participants per class; and
    • the officers who will join the class.
  • A letter shall be sent to the concerned officers for this purpose at least one year prior to their scheduled training/schooling to provide sufficient preparation time.

Maintenance, updating, and publication

  • Phase 3 – Maintenance and Updating assigns responsibility to the DHRDD, through:
    • the Chief, Individual Training Program Division (ITPD); and
    • the Training and Education Information System (TEIS).
  • The DHRDD/ITPD/TEIS shall maintain and update the TLL using merit and graduate data.
  • A copy of the Merit and List of Graduates from the PPSC or the PNPTS must be secured immediately after the termination of a mandatory career course or its equivalent for TLL updating purposes.
  • The TLL shall be published on a regular basis, and the frequency of publication is determined by the DHRDD.

Rescission and modification of inconsistent rules

  • All other rules and procedures inconsistent with these implementing rules are hereby rescinded and/or modified.

Implementing procedure effectivity mechanics

  • The Circular’s effectivity is governed by the Revised Administrative Code of 1987, as amended under EO 292, specifically Sections 3 and 4, Chapter 2, Book VII.
  • Effectivity occurs fifteen (15) days from filing a copy with the University of the Philippines Law Center.
