ANNEXES

PNTI Training Guide Revised 2006

70 POLICE NATIONAL TRAINING INSTITUTE HISTORICAL BACKGROUND The Police National Training Institute (PNTI) has played a major role in the training of our country’s policemen. Its long history can be traced from the year 1905, four years after the Americans formally established the Philippine Constabulary for the purpose of enforcing the law and maintaining peace and order. The present PNTI evolved from the merger of the defunct Philippine Constabulary Training Command in Camp General Mariano N Castaneda, Silang Cavite and the Integrated National Police Training Command in Camp General Vicente P. Lim at Calamba City in Laguna. These two training schools were responsible for the training and education of the PC and INP personnel, respectively. Their integration gave birth to one organizational structure known as PC/INP Training Command that conformed to the pressing need for a cohesively organized, better coordinated and better directed service facility for the education and training of members of the PC/INP. With the passage on December 13, 1990 of Republic Act 6975 creating the Philippine National Police under a recognized Department of the Interior and Local Government, the PC/INP Training Command was renamed PNP Training Command and became a primary component of the Philippine Public Safety College (PPSC). Philippine Public Safety College was created to assume overall responsibility for the training, human resource development and continuing education of all personnel of the Philippine National Police, Bureau of Fire Protection, and Bureau of Jail Management and Penology. Subsequently, the PNP Training Command was renamed Philippine National Police Training Center to Police Training Center, and later on, Police National Training Institute as it is known today.

PNTI Training Guide Revised 2006

71 PREFACE One of the major thrusts of the Philippine Public Safety College, as the premier educational and training institution for the Philippine National Police, Bureau of Fire Protection, and Bureau of Jail Management and Penology is to conceptualize uniform standards for public safety students. This Training Guide is a product of rigid consultations among the tri-bureaus that formed themselves into a Technical Working Group to conceptualize policies, rules and regulations during the conduct of training. May it serve as an essential guide for the trainees and likewise for the PPSC staff and faculty members. Finally, may this Training Guide serve as an instrument in goal setting to achieve “Excellence Through Quality Training” at the Police National Training Institute, Fire National Training Institute and Jail National Training Institute.
