Two bills filed by Sen. Panfilo “Ping” M. Lacson seek to raise the compulsory retirement age for personnel of the Philippine National Police (PNP) as well as the Bureau of Jail Management and Penology (BJMP) and Bureau of Fire Protection (BFP) from 56 to 57.
In Senate Bills 2395 and 2396, Lacson said the proposed adjustment would allow the three agencies to maximize the expertise, leadership and institutional knowledge of their senior officers, while giving them more time to pass these on to younger personnel.
“This bill, which seeks to increase the retirement age of the members of the PNP to fifty-seven (57) years old, intends to give the PNP leadership more time to implement their intended institutional reforms and for the institution to maximize the years-worth of knowledge and skills of their personnel,” he said in Senate Bill 2395, which seeks to increase the retirement age for PNP uniformed personnel from 56 to 57.
Lacson added that Senate Bill 2396, which similarly seeks to increase the compulsory retirement age for BJMP and BFP members to 57, aims “to give the senior officers of the BJMP and BFP the opportunity to maximize their expertise, leadership, and institutional knowledge while providing additional time to impart the same to the younger officers of the bureau.”
