EXPL.ANATORY NOTE
The  Philippine  Public  Safety  College  (PPSC)  was  established  pursuant  to  Section  66  of
Republic Act 6975, otherwise known as the "Department of Interior and Local Government
(DILG) Act of 1990", to serve as the premier educational institution for the training, human
resource development and continuing education of all personnel  of the Philippine National
Police (PNP), the Bureau of Fire Protection (BFP) and the Bureau of Jail Management and
Penology (BJMP).
In  conformity  with  its  mandate,  the  PPSC,  as  authorized  by  the  Board  of Trustees  and
implemented  in DILG  Training  Directive  No.  001,  series  of  1994,  has  offered through  its
National   Police   College   a   one   year   leading   to   a  Master's   Degree   in   Public   Safety
Administration (MP SA).
A master's degree in public safety administration provides learners with the theoretical and
practical knowledge necessary to manage law enforcement, emergency management, and other
crucial public safety services. Master's in public safety administration programs hone skills in
effective  decision-making,  communication,  management,  conflict  resolution,  and  policy-
making.
With  the passage  of this  bill,  more  stakeholders  shall  be  encourage to  leam  public  safety
administration  and  increase  the  number  public  servants  knowledgeable  of  public  safety
administration and thus elevate the quality of public service and adherence to the concepts of
public  safety.  The public is therefore ensured of a more responsive protection from crime,
disaster, and other potential threats to their safety and wellbeing.
In view of the foregoing, the immediate passage of this bill is earnestly sought.
