ABOUT 134 administrative cases have been filed against uniformed and non-uniformed personnel of the Philippine National Police (PNP) in the region since 2022, according to Police Regional Office-Davao Region (PRO-Davao).

Law and Order Section of PRO-Davao chief PMaj. Lope Cebreros III said they already have 101 resolved cases and 33 cases are still undergoing summary hearing proceedings.

“Sa mga kaso na po to mayroon na po tayong napatawan ng parusa, 18 nito ay na-dismiss sa PNP service, dalawang na-demote, 54 na-suspended at 11 na reprimanded (We already imposed penalties for this kind of cases; 18 have been dismissed in the PNP service, two have been demoted, 54 have been suspended and 11 have been reprimanded),” Cebreros said in an interview on the Davao City Disaster Radio on July 8, 2022.

Cebreros said these had been imposed on police officers with permanent status while termination proceedings have been filed against police officers in temporary status who have committed offenses.

“Mayroon po tayong sampong police trainees na nag-commit po ng ibat-ibang pagkakasala (We have 10 police trainees that committed different offenses), and they are now undergoing termination proceeding at unfortunately sa sampong yan, isa na po ang na-terminate (and one of them has been terminated) from the PNP service because of infraction committee while undergoing training po nila,” Cebreros said.

Aside from this, 15 PNP personnel in PRO 11 have been subject to attrition proceedings due to non-promotion after 10 years, and another two personnel due to inability to render police duties physically.

“If they are found not liable under attrition proceedings, mananatili po sila sa PNP (they will be able to retain their job), however napatunayan na (if they will be found that) they are liable under attrition proceedings they will be separated from the police service,” Cebreros said.

Cebreros said if policemen are removed from PNP service, they are not eligible to receive any other benefits aside from their accumulated leaves and will be considered dismissed. KSD
