Due to unending persistence and commitment, the PNP

has gained its momentum in re-solving the police force’s organiza-tional dysfunctions, in improving the quality of police services and in strengthening law enforcement capabilities. The improved physical facil-ities and equipment of police headquarters/stations, better systems and procedures, and more competent personnel equipped with salient train-ings have defined the quality of service the PNP has offered. With our celebration of

111th police service anni-versary comes another mile-stone for the PNP to constantly do its share of building a peaceful and progressive community. The PNP under the leadership of our Chief PNP, PDG NICANOR A. BARTOLOME is determined to be continuously transformed into a world-class police force. Amidst an exhilarating path, challenges or difficulties should in no way dissuade us from pursuing our mission of enforcing the laws and ideals of democracy, protect-ing the human rights and proper-ties, and securing the peace and

order against insurgency and law-lessness. Our accomplishments are our humble contributions to God, country and people. ( RD Valmoria)
