integrated under the new DILG, the Bureau of Fire Protection, Bureau of Jail Management and
Penology and the Philippine Public Safety College; and absorbed the National Action Committee on
Anti-Hijacking from the Department of National Defense (DND).
 The passage of RA 6975 paved the way for the union of the local governments and the police force
after more than 40 years of separation.

order, and public safety. In 1950, the Department was abolished and its functions were
