Descriptive-correlational type of research was used in the study utilizing a survey questionnaire to gather the needed data which were analyzed using statistical tools: frequency count, percentage, mean, t-test, F-test, and Chi-Square. The majority of the respondents were males, married, college graduates, PNP Personnel, and coming from the 1st district with a mean age of 44 years old. The results revealed that the PNP implemented the following strategic courses on illegal drug use: demand reduction, supply reduction, and reduction of the adverse consequences. Moreover, the PNP encountered moderately serious problems in its implementation. Furthermore, there is significant difference in the implementation of strategic courses of the PNP on illegal drugs as to demand reduction strategies, supply reduction strategies, and reduction of adverse consequences of abuse use strategies considering the respondents' category. A significant difference was found between the degree of implementation of supply reduction strategies and respondents' location, however, there is no significant difference as to the demand reduction strategies and reduction of adverse consequences of drug use.
