Abstract
Introduction
This study aims to analyze the degree of compliance and effectiveness of the body mass index (BMI) as a basis for Philippine National Police’s (PNP) comprehensive health and physical fitness program.
It shall aim to assess its impact or effectiveness in the work performance of PNP personnel and increase awareness of the risks of being obese and overweight.
Police officers are law-abiding citizens who wear a uniform to enforce the laws. They have the right to remain obese, but it can and will be used against them in the line of duty. This study discusses the compliance of PNP personnel to the programs instituted by the PNP that prepare and maintain healthy officers who can perform their tasks well throughout their careers. It also reveals the need for police officers to be physically and mentally fit.
The issue of unfit and obese police officers has been one of the concerns of the PNP.
The Philippine National Police (PNP) firmly believes that physically and mentally fit personnel can deliver effective and efficient public service. Related laws require that PNP personnel must maintain a good physical and mental well-being.
Obese law enforcement officers are not the problem; they are the consequence of the problem. Obesity in law enforcement is not only real, but it has been established to be hazardous to everything the organization stands for and represents. Every officer needs to be aware that the image they convey is important and recognize that their appearance and demeanor in uniform is a primary factor in how (community) others perceive them.
