We are very keen to know how many of them are holding key positions who have something to do with PNP funds, and other corrupt high ranking officials.

By the way, what happened to the Russia scam starring ex-general de la Paz & other active officials involved ? Are we expecting the case to be just swept under the carpet ? :dunno:

PNP issues new directive: Undercover agents can't take drugs

abs-cbnNEWS.com | 02/10/2009 10:57 AM


Police agents are now banned from taking illegal drugs while on an undercover assignment, a police spokesman said Tuesday.

Chief Superintendent Nicanor Bartolome, Philippine National Police spokesman, said PNP chief Director General Jesus Verzosa issued the directive after learning that majority of the 221 police officers who turned out positive for drug use were undercover agents working on cases against drug personalities.

"That's why PNP chief Jesus Verzosa issued a directive banning operatives from taking drugs, even if they are doing it to monitor drug syndicates," Bartolome told ABS-CBN's morning show, "Umagang Kay Ganda." Bartolome said several undercover agents take drugs while monitoring drug syndicates. He said agents would have to change this tactic under Verzosa's watch.

The PNP on Monday reported that 221 of the 25,134 police officers who have undergone drug tests in 2008 were found positive for illegal drugs.

Bartolome said the PNP has been conducting random drug tests even before President Arroyo appointed herself as the country anti-drug czar and ordered an all-out war against illegal drugs.

He said that of the 221 police officer found positive for drug use, 80 have been dismissed from the service, 24 were suspended, 10 demoted and have resigned, and two have been dropped from the police's rolls. He said 105 policemen are also facing cases, 26 of them under pre-charge evaluation and 79 are under summary dismissal proceedings.

This year, Bartolome said the PNP is targeting to conduct more drug tests on 25 percent or roughly 30,000, of its total members. The PNP is currently 125,000-strong.

He said the PNP would have wanted to subject all of its policemen to drug tests, but because of "budget constraints" the police organization is forced to conduct drug tests in batches and in a yearly basis.

“The target of the PNP in its random drug test for this year is 25 percent of the total PNP personnel. Right now we have a total of 125,000 members of the PNP. Rest assured that we will continue to put up a united effort in the campaign against illegal drugs,” Bartolome added.

One-strike policy

Director Raul Bacalzo, commander of the police's Anti-Illegal Drugs Special Operations Task Force (AIDSOTF), said the PNP is now applying a "one-strike" policy to police unit commanders who will be caught sleeping on the government's renewed campaign against illegal drugs.

Bacalzo said police commanders will be immediately sacked from their posts if AIDSOTF agents are able to conduct successful anti-drug raids in their areas of jurisdiction.

The police official said the PNP is also implementing a memorandum from Interior Secretary Ronaldo Puno that encourages police commanders to solicit the support of local government units in the anti-drugs campaign.

The PNP boasted that in the last six weeks, police have already conducted 311 operations nationwide, resulting in the arrest of 723 drug users and pushers as well as the filing of 613 cases. From January to February 6, police said a total of P208,951,397 worth of illegal drugs were seized.

There is no specific law justifying drug undercover agents to take drugs while on a drug bust mission or things like that anyway. Employing the notion of "it needs crooks to catch crooks" is the shallowest and cheapest way of preventing and catching criminals.

In drug cases, there are several tricky ways for an agent to use instead of themselves also using or taking the drug as a cover or ploy. It does'nt need to destroy your life to bust drug users.

Mr. Verzoza is absolutely right on this move. It is a laudable move to prevent cops detailed with drug enforcement moulded into floating robots. I have witnessed this during my time with the police. I saw them looking like zoombies (bloodshot eyes), short-term memory lapses, inadequate responses to questions and other weird treats that changed their actual personality. I remembered three personnel one was a Captain, and two non-commission officer from Manila who were assigned in my unit with the defunct CIS in Mindanao during my time. I found out their background to be coming from the Anti-Narcotics Department during a monthly conference in Camp Crame. Then and there, I requested to have their orders recalled because apart from the strange behavior I noticed in them, they are not capable of doing the job of the Criminal Investigation Service.

VERZOSA’S OFFICE RECOMMENDED FOR ISO CERTIFICATION HURDLED STRINGENT INTERNATIONAL STANDARDS
Published by Office of the Chief PNP
Monday, 28 June 2010 12:44

The Office of Police Director General Jesus A Verzosa, Chief of the Philippine National Police has moved one step closer to becoming a proudly ISO-certified office.

A third party audit team from the Anglo-Japanese Audit Registrars, which conducted a two-day independent assessment which ended Saturday, on the quality management system that was established and implemented at the OCPNP, has recommended to the London-based International Standards Certifying body to declare the OCPNP as ISO 9001:2008 compliant.

The AJAR is the Filipino counterpart of the European-based United Kingdom Accreditation System.

“The (OC)PNP is recommended for certification to ISO 9001:2008,” said Paul Bagatsing, Vice President of the AJAR third party audit team after reporting the team’s findings and assessments to Verzosa and key personnel of the OCPNP.

The Certifying Audit team has found that the quality management system and its processes, which are being implemented in and by the various sections and attach units of the OCPNP, conform with and, in accordance to, International Standards.

“Except for some areas where certain management processes and procedures need only to be strengthened, highlighted, or improved, we find no major non-conformances in the quality management system being used in the OCPNP,” Bagatsing said.

For more than seven months prior to last weekend’s independent evaluation, the OCPNP officers and personnel have reviewed, assessed, improved and updated their respective management system, procedures and processes to meet the minimum yet stringent requirements with International Standards under the expert tutelage of ACF Consultants and Training Services.

“Management system evaluators and analysts from ACFCTS worked side by side with key personnel from the OCPNP’s Administration and Operation sections and four attached units, namely: the Program Management Office (PMO), Human Rights Affairs Office (HRAO), Permit To Carry Firearms Outside Residence (PTCFOR) Secretariat and the CPNP’s Complaint / SMS Text Desk, to test the workability and effectiveness of existing management system and rationalize other areas to strengthen the overall delivery of police service,” said Senior Supt. Benigno Durana, the Senior Executive Assistant to the Chief, PNP and one of the main proponent of the ISO certification project.

For his part, Director General Jesus A Verzosa, Chief, PNP thanked the officers and men of his office for their commitment and dedication to work for the betterment of the service through programs that ensure a continuum of the various programs and reform initiatives through the years.

“As the highest office in the PNP, the OCPNP has taken the initiative to spearhead this endeavor in the hope of leading the rest of the PNP units in undertaking similar initiatives. In so doing, we are also pushing forward the institutional development component of our transformation program,” Verzosa said yesterday in his remarks at the start of the two-day third party audit, which began on Friday.

The CPNP however, reminded the OCPNP officers and personnel that being an ISO certified office “should not be the end to the means, but rather, the beginning of what we all intend to do – render faster, better and more effective police service to the public.”

The ISO 9001:2008 Certification is expected to be finalized by UKAS and awarded to the OCPNP on July 26, 2010.

By then, the main door leading to main reception/visitors area of the OCPNP will be bearing the sign: Office of the Chief, PNP, Proudly ISO 9001::2008 Certified!

Director Versoza has been quietly transforming the PNP into a better organization.

New equipment
New weapons
New units
New handguns for unarmed cops
And now ISO certification

Which is significant because it offers a level of transparency and documentation that were not available before.

Next, DND-AFP?
Information is power!

This is another thing to be reformed- Infidelity in the custody of prisoners or detained criminal suspects.

In this news article, the prisoners had a good and smooth escape because the prison cell keys were just hanged on the wall and not tucked in to the policeman's belt. It was taken by the prisoners cohorts from the wall and handed over to the detained inmates inside the cell. The reason why it was just easy as that ? The police on duty was busy playing computer games. It is presumed that this incident is not only happening in the Cagayan de Oro City Police Office but also to some other police station in the country where cops assigned in the police stations either sleep or do something else thereby abandoning their watch and responsibilities. These cases are an eye-opener to Mr. Verzosa to reform the nation's backsliding police force.
