Screening and In-processing

Screening and in-processing of QCPD-PSJLC formally started on May 5, 2009 with an entrance exam. A total of 90 applicants took the written examination. While the entrance examination had been discontinued in regular PPSC courses, QCPD deemed it necessary to conduct it to have an objective basis in screening and paring the numerous applicants. Not everyone cannot be accomodated in the course due to limited classroom capacity.

Before the examinations, a short overview of the course was given to ensure that the applicants know what to expect once they are admitted to the course.







Only 70 were initially marked as passed with the rest advised to either wait for the next course or take the same at PPSC or PNTI. To further narrow down the list and to also comply with the PPSC admission requirement of blood screening of applicants which included the Hepa A, B, and C tests, plus the AIDS test, QCPD requested its partner, the Quezon City Red Cross to conduct the tests, FOR FREE. As an ex-deal, all qualified applicants were required to donate blood. A total of 35 bags were collected that day by the Red Cross team headed by Dr. Lorenzo. The drug test, blood screening, and blood letting activity was conducted on May 28, 2009 at the QCPD Library. Course Coordinate PCINSP NICOLAS D TORRE III led the blood donors.









The drug test was also conducted on the same day by a team from QCPD Crime Laboratory supervised by their Chief, PSUPT Dr. Mon Porciuncula.
