Abstract The study assessed the level of criminal investigation competencies in the Caloocan City Police Station to develop an innovative professional development plan. The study is a quantitative approach to research measuring the level of criminal investigation competencies, the degree of seriousness of the challenges encountered, and the necessity of the suggestions offered to enhance the criminal investigation competencies of police personnel. The respondents of the study were the PNP personnel assigned to the investigation, first responders and force multipliers. The assessment revealed that the police personnel demonstrated high competency in areas such as the proper preparation of investigative reports and observing the chain of custody. However, there were areas for improvement, including the need to strengthen control over crime scenes, enhance investigation strategies, and improve the taking of sworn statements. The assessment also highlighted the challenges encountered by police investigators, including the reluctance of witnesses to provide information and the inadequate budget and resources hindering thorough investigations. Furthermore, the study emphasized the necessity of training, the incorporation of the latest techniques and technologies, and continuous learning and development in legal knowledge, oral and written communication skills, and critical thinking. Based on these findings, the study proposed tailored training programs, comprehensive strategies to address investigative challenges, and ongoing professional development to enhance the competencies of police personnel at Caloocan City Police Station. The recommendations aim to address the identified competency gaps, challenges, and areas for improvement, ultimately contributing to the enhancement of criminal investigation competencies within the Caloocan City Police Station.
