61 cops complete intelligence course

From the Philippine News Agency (Feb 18): 61 cops complete intelligence course

To strengthen intelligence gathering of the men in the Philippine National Police (PNP), 61 uniformed men of the Ilocos Norte PNP went through a three-month or equivalent to 480-hours special schooling on intelligence course held for the first time at the Takuat Training Center in San Nicolas town here.

The schooling of commissioned and non-commissioned police officers is usually conducted in Camp Crame but this time, the provincial government of Ilocos Norte funded the police intelligence training worth approximately P500,000 and invited speakers from Camp Crame instead.

In a joint closing ceremony of Police Intelligence Officers Course Class 2013-68 and Police Intelligence Course Class 20134-112 on Feb. 17 held at the Plaza del Norte in Laoag City, Governor Imee Marcos hopes the intelligence-trained men and women will apply their newly-acquired knowledge and skills in the pursuit of preventing crimes and ensure peace and order in the province.

Among the skills developed include both written and oral intelligent analysis of situations and on-field demonstrations of lessons learned.

Prior to that, the selected participants underwent qualifying examinations, neuro-psychiatric tests, and other qualifying examinations.
