The Philippine National Police (PNP) (Filipino: Pambansang Pulisya ng Pilipinas) is the national police force of the Republic of the Philippines. It is both a national and a local police force in that it provides all law enforcement services throughout the Philippines. The Philippine National Police, which was a result of a merger of the Philippine Constabulary and the Integrated National Police, was activated on January 29, 1991. Its National Headquarters are based at Camp Crame, Quezon City, in the National Capital Region.
On 3 April 1992, fifteen months into its reconstitution, the PNP began sending its international peacekeeping and humanitarian contingent to conflict areas around the world.
