This study looked into the experience of Registered Criminologists employed in the Philippine National Police (PNP) from recruitment to placement. Using qualitative research approach, the following themes were generated: 1) ?Fulfilling the Dream? (they saw themselves working in the law enforcement profession long before they actually landed on the job); 2) ?Living the Dream? (they enjoyed the perks provided by their professional license and confronted limitations missing from the curriculum); and 3) ?Embracing the Dream? (they took pride of their status in the society). Implications to theory, practice and policy were drawn to address the issues raised in the study.
