Abstract This research investigates the preparedness of Criminology graduates from Urdaneta City University, specifically those who have become licensed criminologists, in their pursuit of careers within law enforcement agencies. The study involves six selected participants, comprising two each from the Philippine National Police (PNP), the Bureau of Fire Protection (BFP), and the Bureau of Jail Management and Penology (BJMP). Employing a qualitative research design with thematic analysis, the study explores the multifaceted preparations made by these graduates as they apply for positions in law enforcement. The findings reveal that applicants proactively prepared themselves in three key dimensions. Physically, participants engaged in exercises to enhance their fitness levels. Financial preparation involved securing part-time employment to build savings, while mental readiness centered on maintaining a focused mindset aligned with their aspirations to become uniformed personnel. The study draws several conclusions from its findings. It emphasizes the importance of comprehensive preparation encompassing physical, mental, and financial aspects for individuals aspiring to join law enforcement agencies. Despite encountering challenges across various dimensions, applicants demonstrated resilience and determination, ultimately overcoming obstacles on their journey to becoming uniformed personnel. Importantly, the research underscores the proactive nature of these applicants, who commenced their preparations before formally applying to their desired law enforcement agencies.
