Madam/Sir,

Good day! I would like to ask regarding the guidelines of Height Equality Act in your agency. The aforementioned Law states that the new height requirement for male and female Patrolman/Patrolwoman applicants are 5'2 feet and 5'0 feet respectively.

Should the applicant still unable to reach the new minimum height qualification, what are the alternative ways to obtain Height Waiver and is there a height limit in acquiring such waiver?

Thank you and God bless!
