The Philippine National Police (PNP) uses a line and staff organization to ensure that all of its personnel and operations are effectively managed and coordinated. The line structure provides a clear chain of command and ensures that orders are followed and decisions are made by the most senior officers. The staff structure provides specialized advice and expertise in areas such as policy, legal, finance, and human resources, which helps to ensure the organization is operating efficiently and effectively. The use of a line and staff structure allows the PNP to better serve the people of the Philippines, by providing the highest quality of law enforcement and public safety services.
