Domestically, the PNP is linked with the other law enforcement agencies through the National Law

Enforcement Coordinating Committee (NALECC). This body convenes regularly to foster cooperation and
coordination among all law enforcement agencies in the country.

It also supports several law enforcement agencies like the Philippine Center for Transnational Crimes
(PCTC) and the Philippine Drug Enforcement Agency.

It is also linked with the International Enforcement Community thru the INTERPOL, with the head of the
PCTC as the Secretariat, and the Chief PNP as the Chief of the National Central Bureau and a member of
the ASEAN Chiefs of Police or ASEANPOL, and a partner of the United Nations Center for International
Crime Prevention (UNCICP).

Philippine Center for Transnational Crime

Executive Order No.100, dated 7 May 1999

“Strengthening the Operational, Administrative and Information Support System of the PCTC” – This
Executive Order sought to strengthen the operational, administrative and information support system
and capacity of PCTC by placing the folowing agencies/offices/instrumentalities of under the general
supervision and control of the the Center:

 Loop Center of the NACAHT;

 INTERPOL NCB-Manila;
 Police Attaches of the PNP; and
 Political Attaches/Counselors for Security Matters of the DILG.

At the heart of every INTERPOL member country is a National Central Bureau (NCB), linking national
police with INTERPOL’s global network and It serves as the contact point for all INTERPOL activities in
the field. NCBs are the lifeblood of INTERPOL, contributing to INTERPOL’s criminal databases and
cooperating together on cross-border investigations, operations and arrests.

There is ONLY ONE NCB per country.

In the Philippines, the INTERPOL National Central Bureau Manila is under the Philippine Center on
Transnational Crime (PCTC).

PCTC's priority crime areas include:

 Illicit trafficking of narcotic drugs and psychotropic substances;

 Money laundering;
 Terrorism;
  Arms smuggling;
 Trafficking in persons;
 Piracy;
 Cybercrime;
 Cultural Heritage;
 Small Arms and Light Weapons;
 Environmental Crimes;
 Intellectual Property Rights;
 Smuggling;
 Any crime which impacts the stability and security of the Philippines

The PCTC coordinates all transnational crime operations carried out by other government agencies of
the Philippines. It designs new projects to strengthen the country’s combined response and ensures the
efficient exchange of information.

The PCTC recommends ways to better prevent transnational crime and to detect and apprehend
criminals operating across borders. A central database of national and international legislation
underpins these recommendations. Activities are reinforced through training programmes delivered in
cooperation with national government agencies, other countries and international organizations.

International Enforcement Community/Interpol

INTERPOL is not a police force. It is the machinery for international police cooperation and
communication. The principles on which Interpol’s functioning is based have stood the best time. It has
become clear that the organization cannot have teams of detectives with supranational powers who
travel around investigating cases in different countries. International police cooperation is the
coordinated action of the member countries’ police forces, all of which supply and request information
and services.
It serves as the office and main coordinating body for international police cooperation against
transnational crimes representing all law enforcement agencies in the Philippines

ASEANPOL
