EXPLANATORY NOTE 
It is the policy of the State to provide education and training on public safety for its 
uniformed bureaus such as the police force, firemen, and jail management who are tasked with 
enforcing the law, preventing crime, protecting lives and property, and ensuring public safety. 
Section 66 of RA 6975 established and constituted under the Department of Interior and 
Local Government (DILG) the Philippine Public Safety College (PPSC) 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). 
As a bureau created under a government agency, the PPSC does not have fiscal autonomy 
and flexibility. Its powers and functions are limited. 
Therefore, this bill seeks to provide a charter for PPSC and to define its powers and 
duties, with the aim of motivating and improving the training of our dedicated public servants -
the policemen, firemen and jail guards.
