Experiences of Non-criminology Graduates Police Officers in Philippine National Police (PNP) Organization

Abstract

The experiences of non-criminology graduate police officers in the Philippine National Police organization are necessary to perceive whether internal and external factors affect their motivation and decision to enter the organization. This study will explore the experiences of non-criminology graduate Police officers in the Philippine National Police (PNP) organization during the year 2023. Transcendental phenomenology was the research design used in the study. Six non-criminology graduate police officers in the Philippine National Police organization participated in the study and were chosen using purposive sampling. An in-depth interview was done to gather data using interview guide questions. The participants' responses were transcribed, coded, and organized to form themes based on the study's objective with the aid of Hyperresearch software. The data were then analyzed and interpreted using Moustaka's data analysis steps. Results revealed that the majority of the non-criminology graduate police officers were at the age of middle age, with a degree in Education, and with rank as Police Staff Sergeants. Non-criminology graduate police officers experienced having motivation for joining PNP, positive experience during Basic Recruit Training (BRT), receiving equal treatment during BRT, challenges during BRT, overcoming personal weaknesses, and a variety of coping mechanisms in dealing with challenges during BRT. They have a strong sense of purpose, and commitment to public service can be a powerful motivator for anyone seeking a career in law enforcement, regardless of their academic background. They have also found that their unique skills and perspectives from their previous academic or professional backgrounds are valued and contribute to their success during BRT and beyond. They used to have different skills and experiences than their criminology graduate peers. However, they are held to the same high professionalism, discipline, and ethical conduct standards. They face certain challenges due to their lack of formal training or Education in law enforcement; however, with dedication, hard work, and a willingness to learn, non-criminology graduate police officers can overcome their challenges and become successful law enforcement officers. They used to face personal weaknesses during BRT in the PNP; they can overcome them by setting goals, seeking out mentorship and support, and staying committed to their development as a law enforcement officer. They used to adopt a growth mindset, meaning that they view challenges as opportunities for growth and learning.
