Criminology Practicum 2 Pre-Deployment

The Criminology Practicum 2 (CP2) Pre-Deployment Program was successfully conducted on February 4 and 5 at Iyaman Hall, preparing interns for their upcoming field assignments under the Tri-Bureaus.

The two-day activity aimed to strengthen the interns’ foundational knowledge in law enforcement, risk management, and rehabilitation. It served as a vital step in bridging academic learning and real-world practice, ensuring that students are fully prepared for the responsibilities they will undertake during their internship.

The orientation focused on clarifying the roles and duties of CP2 interns, helping them understand professional expectations in their respective host agencies. Discussions highlighted the importance of applying criminological theories in practical settings, developing critical thinking skills, and cultivating a strong work ethic.

Representatives from the Tri-Bureaus—the Bureau of Jail Management and Penology (BJMP), Bureau of Fire Protection (BFP), and Philippine National Police (PNP)—oriented the interns on their respective rules and regulations. These included proper wearing of uniforms, appropriate grooming standards, and the behavioral expectations required of interns while on duty.

The BJMP emphasized the submission of weekly accomplishment reports and a post-On-the-Job Training (OJT) report to be prepared by the team leader. Drug testing was also identified as a mandatory requirement. Meanwhile, both the BFP and PNP required the submission of medical certificates prior to deployment.

Beyond compliance requirements, the program underscored the value of self-discipline, punctuality, respect, and professional courtesy. Interns were reminded that adherence to rules and regulations reflects not only on themselves but also on the institution they represent.

Through this pre-deployment program, CP2 interns are now better equipped to transition smoothly from academic life to professional practice, ready to serve with integrity, responsibility, and competence.
