NAPOLCOM Resolution 2024 0851: Technical Standards for PNP Shoulder Loops
Promulgated by the National Police Commission, NAPOLCOM Resolution 2024 0851 sets the mandatory specifications for embroidered shoulder loops worn by Police Commissioned Officers and authorized Non Commissioned Officers across all police uniforms.
Official Specifications Prescribed under Resolution 2024 0851
Shoulder loops function as slide on rank identifiers worn over shoulder epaulets on the General Office Attire (GOA Class A and B), Field Training Uniforms (FTU), and ceremonial patrol uniforms. Tailoring conforms to precise embroidery design guidelines to guarantee thread density and seam integrity.
Dimensions and Geometry
Standardized rectangular slide on sleeve constructed to fit snugly over regulation epaulets without gathering, lateral slack, or twisting during tactical movement.
Base Fabric and Thread
High grade midnight blue gabardine or tropical twill. Computerized embroidery utilizes metallic gold and lustrous silver rayon threads resistant to fading and laundering.
Internal Stiffener Integrity
Reinforced with heat sealed non woven interfacing to maintain crisp architectural rigidity under humid tropical climates and prolonged daily duty cycles.
Heraldic Meaning of Symbols in the PNP Seal and Badge
Every embroidered patch, chest seal, and cap emblem crafted for the Philippine National Police carries deep historical and patriotic significance rooted in the nation's struggle for independence.
Philippine Monkey Eating Eagle
The national bird signifies swiftness, ferocity, power, courage, and immortality. It reminds officers to remain vigilant guardians protecting communities from harm.
Lapu Lapu Chieftain Figure
The hero of Mactan represents bravery, leadership, and community defense. He embodies the ideal of citizens defending their local territory against aggressors.
