Please be informed that under Sections 30-32 of Republic Act No. 6975 as amended by Section 14, Republic Act No. 8551 states that “No person shall be appointed as officer or member of the PNP unless he possesses the following minimum qualifications” such as “At least one meter and sixty-two centimeters (1.62 m.) in height for male and one meter and fifty-seven centimeters (1.57 m.) for female.”
Further, be informed that Pursuant to Section 30 of Republic Act No. 11549 or otherwise known as “The PNP, BFP, BJMP and BuCor Height Equality Act”. An act lowering the minimum height requirement for applicants of the PNP, BFP, BJMP and BuCor, amending RA No. 6975, as amended, RA No. 9263, and RA No. 10575, states that the minimum height requirement to be a member of the PNP is at least 157 cm for males and 152 cm for females.
