The PNP Integrated Transformation Program, or ITP, is our roadmap for long-term and lasting reforms in the Philippine National Police. The Transformation Program is now being implemented in order to resolve organizational dysfunctions and improve the quality of police services; strengthen law enforcement capabilities, and; enhance the welfare and benefits of our personnel and dependents.

The Transformation Program is based on the findings and recommendations of the PNP Reform Commission Report; the GOP-UNDP Study on Transforming the PNP into a more Capable, Effective and Credible Police Force, and; the PNP Transformation Plan.

These reform projects are being implemented by the PNP Program Management Office in cooperation with the Directorial Staff, through the Integrated Transformation Program Monitoring Committee and the various Technical Working Groups.

In addition, as of August 2007, the following are some of the encouraging developments in our on-going reform projects:

• In line with the priority program thrusts of the Chief, PNP and through the efforts of the PNP Housing Board --- a new shelter program was launched and has resulted in the construction of 200 homes in Pulis Kalinga village in Tarlac. At least 105 families now live in their own house and lots in that village. Another 504 single-detached homes will be built in Integrity Heights in Batangas, while three condominium units will be constructed in Camp Bagong Diwa as part of the on base quartering program.
  
  
• The PNP Crime Laboratory is now ISO-certified and has a fully operational Automated Fingerprint 1.0. System or AFIS, which was donated by JICA. Our crime laboratory is also pursuing other capacity building activities as part of its "one crime laboratory per province plan" which shall be undertaken over the next five years. The Crime Laboratory was also awarded as best NSU in terms of training and education. Continuous local and foreign schooling are being offered to crime lab personnel in order to upgrade and sustain their forensic and technical expertise.
  
  
• Completion of the draft Memorandum of Agreement between the PNP and the Department of Health in connection with the PNP Health Care System Enhancement Program. The project pushing for the enhanced reimbursement of hospital expenses or ISRHE. If this proposal is approved, PNP personnel would no longer need to pay cash in DOH-retained hospitals. Ultimately, the goal of this project is to promote greater access to quality health care via tertiary hospitals located in every region and key cities around the country.
  
  
• Marikina Police Station, our first pilot site for the Model Police Station project, had been given priority slots for training. To date, at least 179 personnel including representatives from QCPD and Aklan PPO have already undergone re-training in community policing, crime scene investigation and instructor development through the US DOJ ICITAP. Much-needed computers and other office equipment were procured for use by Marikina Police Station using UNDP funds. The C, PNP and the Directorate for Logistics have also provided 2 additional patrol cars to add to the mobility assets of the station. Financial and training support from the governments of the UK and New Zealand are also forthcoming.
  
• Speaking of training, we are also glad to report that the project to strengthen the PNP training system will be in full swing in just a few weeks. An organizational development plan is set to be implemented.
  
  
• From June throughout July. The drafting of an IRR on PNP training and education is also being considered. In addition, an inventory of PNP specialized courses; the assessment of PNP competencies; and manual development for specialized courses will also be done as part of the project.
  
• Another project called Personnel Electronic Records Management System or PERMS will also be developed so that we can have the capability to convert labor-intensive paper files into e-format, which in turn, would allow us to streamline personnel information management procedures in the PNP.
  
  
• The repair and reconstruction of 150 World-Class Police Stations around the country.
