The citation highlighted the generous provision of tuition fee discounts significantly alleviating the financial burden of education for officers and their families, greatly enhancing the knowledge and competence of MPD personnel. 

In addition to educational support, FEU and MPD formalized their partnership in October 2024 and continue to collaborate on various programs and initiatives related to safety and security, ensuring a secure and supportive environment for the FEU community. 

The University remains fully committed to providing a safe and nurturing campus for students, faculty, and staff.
