The purpose of this study was to determine the best fit model of public image among police non-commissioned officers. Specifically, it explored the interrelationship among variables including management style, gender equality practices and social support to public image. This study utilized quantitative research design and structural equation modelling. Data were sourced from 400 respondents taken from the four provincial police office and two chartered city police office of Region XII through proportionate sampling with the number of stations per office as the reference point. The questionnaire was divided into four sections management style, gender equality practices and social support to public image. Results showed that the level of management styles among police non-commissioned officers is described as high. Furthermore, the level of Gender Equality Practices among Police Non-commissioned Officers is also described as high and described as high for social support. Consistently the level of public image of police non-commissioned officers is also high. Relative to the test of relationship among set of variables, Pearson product moment correlation confirmed that there is a significant relationship between level of management style, gender equality practices and social support to respondents’ level of public image. Consistently, Multiple Linear Regression also confirms that the influence of the three endogenous variables to level of public image among police non-commissioned officers are also significant. Among the three exogenous variables, social support has the highest influence followed by gender equality practices and management style. The best fit model is exemplified by influence of management style to social support to gender equality practices to public image and influence of management style to social support to public image and management style to gender equality practices to public image. Thus, result entails that best practices to ensure a higher level of management should always be sustained and strengthened by the police administration, the same in terms of the social support.
