NAPOLCOM exam testing centers in Region XII.
The NAPOLCOM examinations are administered in the SOCCSKSARGEN through the National Police Commission's regional office in Koronadal City. Every applicant registers online, then goes to that office in person for on-site processing before the Notice of Admission is issued. This page covers what applicants in Region XII should know: where the office is, where venues are typically located, how to get there, the local weather to plan around, and how to prepare once your slot is confirmed.

Where venues are in Region XII, and getting there
The Region XII office is on the 2nd floor of Marbel Top Commercial Building on Alunan Avenue corner J. Abad Santos Street in Koronadal City, the regional center. SOCCSKSARGEN occupies south-central Mindanao and is largely land-accessible, with General Santos an hour from Koronadal and Kidapawan and Tacurong within a few hours by road.
NAPOLCOM doesn't publish a fixed list of Region XII venues — testing sites are named in each examination announcement and can change between sittings depending on capacity and the schools available, and the exact venue and room are on each applicant's Notice of Admission. When you register online you choose this regional office; NAPOLCOM then assigns your specific site, which may not be the city nearest your home. Your notice is the only authoritative source, so check it the moment it's issued.
Slots & registration
Demand concentrates around Koronadal and General Santos. Cotabato province applicants in the north face the longest trips; confirm your venue early, since the region's spread means your site could be in a neighbouring province.
Weather to plan around
Like the rest of southern Mindanao, the region sits below the typhoon belt and rarely sees major storms, so exam-day weather is seldom a serious issue. Plan around normal seasonal rain rather than tropical cyclones.
