Refresher Course forms part of PNP’s “face-lift” efforts
The Philippine National Police employs both surgical and “face-lifting” techniques in its national transformation program.
This was pointed out by Caraga PNP Chief CSupt. Jaime E. Milla in a press forum right after the culmination rites of the 14th Police Relations Month.
Milla said that as a part of the national transformation program, the process of taking out the “bad eggs” of the police force is still very much in place. These few are the parts of the force which give the negative image of the PNP which may always linger in the minds of the public.
He assured that a larger part or the majority however, are doing a good job and are performing their jobs well. He said that personnel who were proven to be guilty of wrongdoings, abusive and were involved in some shady dealings were either arrested or restricted in their camps, investigated and were afforded their due process. If they were found guilty, they will be facing both criminal and administrative charges.
Even those erring police officers and personnel whose complainants, for one reason or another had either backed out or had failed to show up and pursue their cases, it will still be determined by his leadership if they had been found wanting in their functions. Those who were found to be so, he said, were sanctioned to undergo their so-called “Cadet Training” where they had to be re-trained at the PNP Scout training camp at Santiago, Agusan del Norte for 45-days as their refresher course.
The training, according to him, will refresh them of what policing is all about. Included in the same training, according to Milla, are those officers and personnel of the police stations who were harassed by the enemies and were not able to resist. The trainings will be aimed to strengthen their attitude and their will to fight.(Hermie Bagaslao)
