For educational requirements, NAPOLCOM said MILF and MNLF applicants must have completed at least junior high school under the current K-to-12 Program, or 4 years of high school under the previous program, or Alternative Learning System (ALS) Accreditation and Equivalency Program accredited by the Department of Education (DepEd) and by the Ministry of Basic, Higher, and Technical Education.

The PNP Public Information Office (PIO) said that the current height requirement to join the police organization is 5’4″ (1.63 meters) for male and 5’2″ (1.57 meters) for female.

Currently, the PNP PIO said that regular applicants shouldn’t be older than 30 years old. According to the PNP PIO, regular applicants should be at least a college graduate of any course to join the police organization.
