CAMP OLIVAS, Pampanga
– The Philippine National Police
announced 135 erring police officers have finished intensive reformation
training to rejoin the force through the Police Regional Office 3 in a bid to
rid its ranks of scalawags,
“This is part of our internal
cleansing program and I am glad that we have already produced graduates,” Chief
Supt. Aaron N. Aquino, PRO3 director, said as he welcomed the return of the 135
reformed PNP members to law enforcement duties.
Aquino said the
policemen underwent three months of reformation training, dubbed “PRO3
character and aptitude training reformation and transformation,” on PRO3 parade
grounds inside this camp.
The training came
after a number of policemen were involved in various criminal activities such
as kidnapping, extortion, drug pushing and others, damaging the image of the
PNP.
“Our graduates will
not go back to their respective police stations but will be reassigned to the
Regional Public Safety Battalion,” said Aquino.
He added police
officers involved in wrongdoing will not be tolerated and that the program for
the internal cleansing of the police organization will not stop until every
erring cop has been reformed.
“We will continue to
improve the image of the police force in order to achieve our mission of
changing the negative public perception on the Philippine National Police to a
positive one and be credited, once again, as a highly capable, effective, and
credible police force,” he added.
