NAPOLCOM approves certification program for PNP Investigators, Detectives and Case Managers         

September 16, 2020

The National Police Commission (NAPOLCOM) approved the Revised Certification Program for Police Investigators, Police Detectives and Case Managers to improve the PNP’s Crime Clearance Efficiency and Crime Solution Efficiency and enhance the proficiency of its field investigators.

This was announced by NAPOLCOM Vice-Chairman and Executive Officer Atty. Rogelio T. Casurao after the Commission en banc approved Memorandum Circular (MC) No. 2020-006, dated August 25, 2020, which amended MC No. 2013-002 entitled “Professionalizing the Philippine National Police Field Investigation Service through the Implementation of a Certification Program for Field Investigators of the Philippine National Police and Promulgating Guidelines for the Purpose.”

The new MC also promulgates the revised guidelines in the implementation of the Certification Program of the PNP, the composition of the Certification Board, and the Ladderized Standard Procedure for the Certification Program.

“The Commission has observed that there is a need to improve and revise the Certification Program to better serve its purpose, which is to enhance and upgrade the level of competence and qualifications of Police Investigators, Police Detectives and Case Managers, thereby improving and enhancing the investigative capability of the PNP,” Atty. Casurao said.

Under the new NAPOLCOM MC, only uniformed personnel of the PNP who possess the qualifications set forth in this Circular are eligible for the Certification Program. It also provides that the members and secretariat of the National Certification Board shall be issued Honorary Certification as Police Investigators by virtue of position.

According to Atty. Casurao, the issuance of the Circular shall be without prejudice to those PNP personnel who were already certified pursuant to NAPOLCOM MC No. 2013-002. 

“All those who are certified as Police Investigators, Police Detectives and Case Managers shall be authorized to wear their respective specialization badges,” Atty. Casurao added.

The MC also states that the criteria for certification shall conform with the education and eligibility requirements as provided for under the existing NAPOLCOM issuance that prescribes the Qualification Standards for Appointment to PNP Ranks. It likewise provides that all criminal cases investigated/supervised by the applicant must be encoded in the Case Information Database Management System (CIDMS).

The National Certification Board shall issue resolutions for certification and promulgation of other rules and regulations, including the specific procedures to be observed in the certification process that aim to enhance the Program.

Candidates for Police Investigator, Police Detective and Case Manager should meet the required training and experience. Applicants for Police Investigator and Police Detective must undergo the following process which include being recommended for certification by his/her Chief of Police or Head of Office/Unit; passed the evaluation and screening of, and recommended by, the Regional/NOSU Certification Board; and passed the evaluation and screening of, and recommended by, the National Certification Board. On the other hand, applicants for Case Manager must pass the screening of, and recommended by, the Regional/NOSU Certification Board and the National Certification Board.

Vice-Chairman Casurao said that the new NAPOLCOM issuance prescribes for the creation of a National Certification Board at the PNP National Headquarters and Regional Certification Boards at the Police Regional Offices and National Operation Support Units.

MC 2020-006 also provides for the revocation of certification and reissuance of revoked certification. The National Certification Board shall recommend to the Chief, PNP the suspension or revocation of the certification if the Police Investigator, Police Detective or Case Manager had been suspended or dismissed from the service, as the case may be.  The lifting of the suspension order or the revocation of the dismissal order shall be the basis for the Board to recommend to the Chief, PNP the reissuance of the said certification.

“Certified Investigators, Detectives and Case Managers shall be entitled to receive a Specialist Pay pursuant to NAPOLCOM Resolution No. 2018-340 prior to the approval of its addendum pertaining to Investigators’ Duty Pay,” Vice-Chairman Casurao said.
