The Philippine National Police Academy believes that the measure of a Law Enforcement Academy lies in the quality and performance of its graduates and their contributions to public safety and society.

PNPA’s Office of Admission conducts a mission-aligned holistic review of every cadet applicant. This review ensures a fair and comprehensive assessment of the “whole cadet” rather than disproportionately focusing on any one factor to determine admissibility and the ability of cadet applicants to successfully complete the Academy’s unique educational experience. While heavy weight is placed on academic performance, the holistic review considers other criteria such as personal experiences, attributes, leadership experience, physical fitness and athleticism, civic engagement, extracurricular involvement, and level of connection and interest in the PNPA. This holistic approach allows the PNPA to identify and recruit the top-talent in support of the PNP organization’s overall mission of producing police commissioned officers.
