Like every other organizations, be it private or public, everyone needs to have an Information Technology arm right now to handle all technology related concerns in this time's rapid technological advancement. The Philippine National Police (PNP) conducted its recruitment for the 2nd-cycle under calendar year 2017 for IT Police Officer last March 19, 2018.

The following are the qualifications set:

 I am a civilian applicant so I adhered to the mandatory requirements that are set for civilian applicants which are:

  • A- Civil Service PDS (Revised 2017 - click here to download) with latest I.D. picture
  • B- PSA Birth Certificate
  • C- Authenticated Copy of Diploma/T.O.R.
  • D- Authenticated Copy of Eligibility/ies
  • E- Authenticated Copy of Certificate/s of Training and Certificate/s of Employment
  • F- Passport size picture taken within six (6) months in white background with name tag (computer generated picture is prohibited)
  • G- Undertaking of non-pending case (click here to download)
All of the above mentioned mandatory requirements are attached to a plain-red long folder with transparent tabbing. The front part of the folder includes a label on the top-middle with "PERTINENT DOCUMENTS FOR LATERAL ENTRY (IT OFFICER)" and complete name at the bottom-middle. Then the first page is the table of contents page (see image below). After that a plain long bond paper with the transparent tabbing "A" attached is placed on which the corresponding documents for "A" are to follow after the A page; completing all the requirements with the same positioning as the table of contents.
Lastly, though the submission place was included in the announcement, I highly suggest you submit it personally if possible so that it can be checked by the secretariat in real-time for corrections and modifications of your application folder and not send it via courier.
