PNP may waive requirements for applicants with special skills

If you’ve always dreamed of catching bad guys, here’s your chance.

“On Tuesday, April 29, the National Police Commission (Napolcom) issued Resolution No. 2014-001 creating a waiver committee to evaluate applications on the grant of age, height or weight waivers for initial appointment to the Philippine National Police (PNP),” reports Philstar.com.

Napolcom Vice-Chairman and Executive Officer Eduardo U. Escueta said the Napolcom Waiver Committee, “Applicants for waiver shall undergo the panel interview. They are also required to showcase their special skills and talents before the Committee members and the consultants. Such skills and talents shall only be considered if the same will be valuable to the police organization.”

But, Escueta highlighted the following conditions for the waiver:

1. The waiver of the age requirement may be granted provided that the applicant shall not be less than 20 or more than 35 years of age.
2. The waiver of the height requirement may be granted to a male applicant who is at least 1.57 meters and to a female applicant who is at least 1.52 meters.
3. An applicant who is granted a weight waiver shall be given reasonable time but not exceeding six (6) months within which to comply with the weight requirement.
