A descriptive–comparative research method was used to analyze data collected from 152 police officers of the 1st NVPMFC through a survey questionnaire. The results showed that they are satisfied to a great extent in terms of duty details and place of assignment while moderately satisfied with work-life balance, compensation, and benefits. It also showed that police officers are not stressed by traumatic events, teamwork, relationships with other team members, family responsibilities, emotional or psychological stress, physical health and safety, and community perceptions. Job satisfaction and stress level results suggest no significant difference when grouped according to their profile variables. Therefore, it was suggested that the police administration continue to sustain existing salary, benefits, and compensation packages and design new work-life balance programs while ensuring that the low-stress level is maintained through several programs, activities, and projects.
