National Police
The publication of this Citizen’s Primer on Law Enforcement is another manifestation of the support and commitment of the Philippine National Police PNP towards advancing the cause of human rights, both within and without the organization. The development of the Primer was in response to the call made by partners from civil society organizations and local communities to have more information.
The PHILIPPINE NATIONAL POLICE scored a number of milestones in the promotion and protection of women and children’s rights since its inception in 1991 following the passage of Republic Act 6975, otherwise known as the PNP Act of 1991. Several programs, projects and activities were introduced, carried out, and sustained by the PNP as an instrument of the Philippine government to carry out.
