Cadet applicants for the fire and jail bureaus are already in service personnel with the ranks of Fire Officer 1- Fire Officer 2 (FO1-FO2) and Jail Officer 1-Jail Officer 2 (JO1-JO2), respectively.
Officers from the Philippine Public Safety College (PPSC) who has the administrative control of the new Academy, the BFP, and the BJMP will serve as proctors for the PPSA CAT. Top 60 candidates for each Bureau will be selected and will undergo the neuropsychiatric, medical, and dental examinations as well as the physical fitness test prior to their final nomination.
The current approved quota of cadets for the PPSA is 50 (45 males and five females) for each Bureau and successful applicants are scheduled to take their oath on June 1, 2022.
