The National Police Commission (NAPOLCOM) is responsible for the conduct of Police Examinations for aspiring patrolmen/women (PNP Entrance Exam) as well as those who are already in the service (pnp promotional exam).
The Napolcom Exam is held twice a year in different testing centers nationwide. If you are planning to enter the PNP, the first thing you should do is pass the Napolcom PNP Entrance Exam.
However, if you are already a Licensed Criminologist, or pass the board exam and obtain a Second Level Eligibility, then you don’t need to take this exam anymore and you can apply directly to the PNP Online Application Portal.
