LA TRINIDAD,- A total of 206 successful police recruits took their oath yesterday at the parade grounds of the Police Regional Office Cordillera at Camp Bado Dangwa, before Cordillera police regional director PCSupt. Villamor Bumanglag.

The new PNP recruits, composed of 161 males and 45 females, are part of the PRO-COR Attrition Recruitment Program for 2011.

PRO-Cordillera was given a quota of 302 under the Police Officers 1 Recruitment Program-Attrition Quota. A total of 686 applicants were accepted; but in the end, only 206 applicants took the oath.

Bumanglag rallied the new recruits to carry their burden as it is a big challenge. It may be daunting but it’s simple to carry on - just follow orders.


The 206 newly appointed PO1s were turned over to the Cordillera Administrative Region Training Center where they will undergo further training. They will undergo the Public Safety Basic Recruit Course (PSBRC) for six months then the Field Training Program (FTP) for another six months before the PNP recruits become permanent Police Officers 1 (PO1).

They will beef up the manpower complement of the PRO to further strengthen PNP capabilities.*(PROCOR/PIA CAR)
