Caramat said 173 complaints and information received by this Task Force were subsequently referred to concerned office of Deputy Regional Director for Operations.

“We will also be resolute in our strong desire to achieve an organizational culture where professionalism and integrity pervade and endure at all times. And our internal cleansing program will not spare anyone.” Albayalde said.

The relentless effort of the PNP thrust on internal reform program has led to the dismissal of 2,169 police personnel, and 4,133 others were suspended for various infractions and violation of PNP rules. In addition, another 368 were also dismissed for drug-related offenses.

CITF calls on public support to report abuse, irregularities and anomalies involving PNP personnel through its 24/7 Text and Call hotlines: 0998-970-2286 and 09995-795-2569 and thru ‘Counter Intelligence Task Force’ (@PNPCITF) on Facebook Messenger. (By JONG CADION With PR from PRO 9 PIO)
