2. RATIONALE

This PNP Memorandum Circular (PNPMC) provides implementing

directives on the placement, promotion, and career path of PNP personnel assigned
with the PNP Mobile Forces (PMFs) of the Police Regional Offces (PROs).

3. SITUATION:

The result of the Operational Review and Performance Audit conducted by

the PNP Board of lnquiry (Bol) from the aftermath of the samar misencounter
revealed the inadequacy of our mobile forces in terms of equipage and significantly,
small unit leadership. The actual staffing pattem of units is far from the ideal staffing
pattem for the PMFs.

The regular downloading of PMF personnel who finished their tenure in

position required-in the PMFs also denies their units of their leadership potentials.
bnty a tew personnel opt to remain with the PMFs and majority prefers to .be
downloaded io the police stations and seldom return to the PMFs as senior Police
Non-Commissioned'offcers (PNCOS), Comes promotion time, the PMF personnel
has to compete with the local police for the promotion quota which most often, will be

Page 1 of 23
the last priority for being low-ranking and the most junior in the service.
Consequently, the absence of senior/experienced PNCOs to lead the
junior/unexperienced PNCOs adversely affects the unit's administrative and
operational effectiveness.
