The Philippine National Police Training Institute (PNPTI) has played a major role in the training of our country’s policemen. Its long history can be traced from the year 1905, four years after the Americans formally established the Philippine Constabulary for the purpose of enforcing the law and maintaining peace and order.

The PNPTI evolved from the merger of the defunct Philippine Constabulary Training Command in Camp   General Mariano N Castaneda, Silang, Cavite and the Integrated National Police Training Command in Camp General Vicente P. Lim at Calamba City in Laguna. These two training schools were responsible for the training and education of the PC and INP personnel, respectively. Their integration gave birth to one organizational structure known as PC/INP Training Command that conformed with the pressing need for a cohesively organized, better coordinated and better-directed service facility for the education and training of members of the PC/INP.
