📄 Abstract
Police personnel were expected to manage crises, maintain psychological well-being, and demonstrate competence. However, some failed in these areas, including five recorded suicides from 2019 to 2024. This research investigated the crisis management skills, psychological well-being, and competence of Philippine National Police personnel at the Calamba Component City Police Station. The study addressed the paucity of literature on these topics and aimed to provide valuable references to enhance the mental health of law enforcement officers. To assess the respondents' crisis management skills, the researcher adopted Rubillar et al.'s (2023) questionnaire. To evaluate their competence in handling Violence Against Women and Children (VAWC), child abuse, and bomb threats, the researcher used a custom questionnaire adapted from various literature sources. For psychological well-being, the researcher utilized Del Rosario et al.'s (2024) questionnaire. The findings showed that respondents displayed high levels of crisis management and psychological well-being but had moderate competence. Competence strongly correlated with organizational skills and was moderately linked to planning skills, but not to communication skills. Communication skills strongly influenced psychological well-being, while organizational skills had a limited impact. The researcher recommended ongoing skill updates for PNP personnel, targeted communication skills training, mentorship programs, and the continuation of the existing psychological well-being initiative.
