What Is The Command Structure of Philippine National Police?

The Philippine National Police (PNP) follows a centralized command structure. In a centralized model, all police resources and processes are managed within a single organization that reports to one senior leader. This provides consistency in training across the PNP. Some advantages of centralization include a clear chain of command, focused vision, and reduced costs, while disadvantages include bureaucracy and remote control. The PNP also considers decentralization, with advantages such as diversification, management development, and quick decision-making, but decentralization can result in lost control over day-to-day activities.

where the law enforcement for the state is organized with a central command that
assists local departments... Law enforcement is tasked with the detection and
prevention of crimes. ... When a state has only one state law enforcement agency, it
is called the centralized model of state law enforcement, whereas when a state has
two or more state law enforcement agencies, it is called the decentralized model of
state law enforcement. Advantages of Centralization are A clear chain of command,

police but only with order maintenance authority -- investigating authority is handled
