Abstract

Police operational competence and performance are parameters for police efficiency and effectiveness. An assessment of competence can help the organization achieve excellence in operations. Today, the country is facing more significant challenges in preserving peace and order.  The country has to undergo internal changes and transformation that can only be attained through effective training programs. Hence, the paper assessed the level of operational competence and performance of graduates of RTC6 assigned in city police stations in Negros Occidental in the areas of traffic, patrol, and investigation operations assessed by their supervisors when graduates were taken as a whole and grouped according to rank, length of service, and city class. Likewise, the study sought to investigate the relationship between operational competence and performance.
