The study ascertained the best fit model for the attitude toward guns and violence of police officers in Region XII in relation to aggression, organizational control, and conflict management. This quantitative non-experimental research used the descriptive-causal design. Structural equation model (SEM) was employed in this study with 400 police officers as respondents selected through stratified sampling technique. Data were collected using structured, standardized instruments which were tested for content validity and reliability. The tools used included the mean, standard deviation, Pearson product-moment correlation and structural equation model (SEM). Results disclosed that the level of aggression among police officers was low; the level of organizational control was very high; the level of conflict management was very high; and the level of attitude toward guns and violence of police officers was very low. Moreover, the three exogenous variables posted significant relationship with attitude toward guns and violence. In addition, aggression, organizational control, and conflict management significantly influenced attitude toward guns and violence. Of the five generated models, Model 5 was found to be the most parsimonious model for attitude toward guns and violence.
