The PNP Integrated Transformation Program
The PNP Integrated Transformation Program, or ITP, is our roadmap for long-term and lasting
reforms in the Philippine National Police. The Transformation Program is now being
implemented in order to resolve organizational dysfunctions and improve the quality of police
services; strengthen law enforcement capabilities, and; enhance the welfare and benefits of our
personnel and dependents.
The Transformation Program is based on the findings and recommendations of the PNP Reform
Commission Report; the GOP-UNDP Study on Transforming the PNP into a more Capable,
Effective and Credible Police Force, and; the PNP Transformation Plan.
Thirty-four (34) reform projects have been outlined to meet the desired objectives for each of
the 10 KRAs.
Of the 34, the following priority "quick win" projects are now in various stages of
implementation:
These reform projects are being implemented by the PNP Program Management Office in
cooperation with the Directorial Staff, through the Integrated Transformation Program
Monitoring Committee and the various Technical Working Groups.
In addition, as of August 2007, the following are some of the encouraging developments in our
on-going reform projects:
• In line with the priority program thrusts of the Chief, PNP and through the efforts of the
PNP Housing Board --- a new shelter program was launched and has resulted in the
construction of 200 homes in Pulis Kalinga village in Tarlac. At least 105 families now live
in their own house and lots in that village. Another 504 single-detached homes will be
built in Integrity Heights in Batangas, while three condominium units will be constructed
in Camp Bagong Diwa as part of the on base quartering program.
• The PNP Crime Laboratory is now ISO-certified and has a fully operational Automated
Fingerprint 1.0. System or AFIS, which was donated by JICA. Our crime laboratory is also
pursuing other capacity building activities as part of its "one crime laboratory per
province plan" which shall be undertaken over the next five years. The Crime Laboratory
was also awarded as best NSU in terms of training and education. Continuous local and
foreign schooling are being offered to crime lab personnel in order to upgrade and
sustain their forensic and technical expertise.
• Completion of the draft Memorandum of Agreement between the PNP and the
Department of Health in connection with the PNP Health Care System Enhancement
Program. The project pushing for the enhanced reimbursement of hospital expenses or
ISRHE. If this proposal is approved, PNP personnel would no longer need to pay cash in
DOH-retained hospitals. Ultimately, the goal of this project is to promote greater access
to quality health care via tertiary hospitals located in every region and key cities around
the country.
• Marikina Police Station, our first pilot site for the Model Police Station project, had been
given priority slots for training. To date, at least 179 personnel including representatives
from QCPD and Aklan PPO have already undergone re-training in community policing,
crime scene investigation and instructor development through the US DOJ ICITAP.
Much-needed computers and other office equipment were procured for use by
Marikina Police Station using UNDP funds. The C, PNP and the Directorate for Logistics
have also provided 2 additional patrol cars to add to the mobility assets of the station.
Financial and training support from the governments of the UK and New Zealand are
also forthcoming.
• Speaking of training, we are also glad to report that the project to strengthen the PNP
training system will be in full swing in just a few weeks. An organizational development
plan is set to be implemented.
• From June throughout July. The drafting of an IRR on PNP training and education is also
being considered. In addition, an inventory of PNP specialized courses; the assessment
of PNP competencies; and manual development for specialized courses will also be done
as part of the project.
• Another project called Personnel Electronic Records Management System or PERMS will
also be developed so that we can have the capability to convert labor-intensive paper
files into e-format, which in turn, would allow us to streamline personnel information
management procedures in the PNP.
• The repair and reconstruction of 150 World-Class Police Stations around the country.
• US-funded Professional Development and Training for PMO Personnel
