NAPOLCOM removes height requirement for PNP entrance exam applicants

The National Police Commission has removed the height requirement for applicants who want to take the Philippine National Police Entrance examination.

According to National Police Commission vice chairman and executive officer Rogelio Casurao, applicants may take the exam as long as they have bachelor’s degrees and are not more than 30 years old."

This, he said, is effective starting with the examinations slated for April 22.

The NAPOLCOM also announced the activation of the On-Line Examination Application Scheduling System (OLEASS) in the websites www.napolcom.gov.phor www.napolcom-oleass.com for the nationwide conduct of the PNP Entrance and Promotional Examinations.

The NAPOLCOM said OLEASS allows entrance exam applicants to choose the examination center where they want to take the exam regardless of their place of residence.

But for the promotional exam applicants, the examination center is automatically assigned by the computer system based on the home address or unit/assignment address provided by the police applicants.

“These innovations in the administration of the NAPOLCOM examinations is intended to streamline existing procedures geared towards fostering a more client-friendly frontline service delivery environment,” Casurao said.    

The PNP Entrance Examination is open to all Filipino citizens who are not more than 30 years old and bachelor’s degree holder. Police Officers I (PO1) whose appointments are temporary for lack of appropriate eligibility are also required to take said entrance exam.

On the other hand, the Promotional Examinations are open exclusively to all qualified uniformed members of the PNP who meet the minimum qualification standards for examination in terms of rank and eligibility. —NB, GMA News
