ILOILO City – Policemen on duty must not sleep, gamble or drink alcoholic beverages.
Those doing any of these face administrative sanctions, according to the Police Regional Office 6 (PRO-6) spokesperson Superintendent Gilbert Gorero.
The regional police office plans to conduct unannounced inspections of police offices.
In the National Capital Region, 14 policemen were recently caught either sleeping or binge drinking while on duty. They were relieved from their posts.
Gorero said there was no excuse for policemen to be lazy because their salaries have been doubled.
Vigilance in police stations is needed, he stressed, because rebels could strike anytime.
“We have to serve the people with dedication. We must not leave our posts unmanned,” said Gorero.
He also warned policemen against engaging in mulcting activities and moonlighting.
With better pay, there is no more reason for policemen to resort to illegal activities, according to Chief Superintendent Cesar Hawthorne Binag, Western Visayas police director.
This year, the basic monthly pay in the Philippine National Police for Police Officer 1 would be P29,000 up from P14,000.
“I would not hesitate to dismiss them from the service kung magloloko pa sila,” said Binag at the recent annual New Year’s Call of the PRO-6 in Camp Delgado.
He reiterated PRO-6’s flagship program, Personnel Management Program.
“All our personnel must acquire the necessary knowledge, skills and attitudes for them to be capable, effective and credible. Last year, we began equipping our investigation, intelligence and maneuver personnel with various trainings,” said Binag.
This year, he wanted this intensified./PN
