Prebilehiyo ng mga licensed criminologist

DR. PERSIDA V. RUEDA-ACOSTA / MAGTANONG KAY ATTORNEY

Dear Chief Acosta,

Kinakailangan pa bang kumuha ng entrance exam ang lisensiyadong criminologist kung gusto niyang magtrabaho sa Bureau of Jail Management and Penology? — Rodmar

Dear Rodmar,

Para sa inyong kaalaman, ang inyong katanungan ay tinatalakay sa Section 34 ng Republic Act No. 11131 o mas kilala sa tawag na “The Philippine Criminology Profession Act of 2018” kung saan nakasaad na;

“Section 34. Privileges of Registered Criminologists.— All registered criminologists shall be exempt from taking any other entrance or qualifying government or civil service examinations and shall be considered civil service eligible to the following government positions, among others: (1) Dactylographer; (2) Ballistician; (3) Questioned Document Examiner; (4) Forensic Photographer; (5) Polygraph Exami­ner; (6) Probation Officer; (7) Pa­­role Officer; (8) Special Inves­tigator; (9) Special Agent; (10) Investigative Agent; (11) Intelligence Agent; (12) Law Enforcement Evaluation Officer; (13) National Police Commission (NAPOLCOM) Inspector; (14) Traffic Operation Officer; (15) Associate Graft Investigation Officer; (16) Special Police Officer; (17) Safekeeping Officer; (18) Sheriff; (19) Security Officer; (20) Criminal Investigator; (21) Warden; (22) Reformation Officer; (23) Firefigh­ter; (24) Fire Marshall; (25) Jail Officer up to the rank of Jail Superintendent; (26) Police Officer up to the rank of Police Superintendent and other law enforcement agencies, and agencies under the Criminal Justice System.” [Sinalungguhitan upang bigyang-diin.]

Sang-ayon sa nabanggit na probisyon ng batas, isa sa mga prebilehiyo ng lisensiyadong criminologist ang pagiging exempt sa pagkuha ng entrance exam kung gustuhin niyang maging jail officer hanggang sa ranggo na jail superintendent ng Bureau of Jail Management and Penology o BJMP.
