232 cops dismissed in Q1 as PNP intensifies internal purge
MANILA – A total of 232 police officers were dismissed from service in the first three months
The dismissals were part of administrative sanctions imposed on 740 PNP personnel from Jan. 1 to March 25. Of the total, 36 officers were demoted and 333 suspended, while others faced penalties, such as salary forfeiture, reprimand, restriction, and withholding of privileges.
"Hindi natin kinukunsinti ang mali. Patuloy nating pinapanagot ang mga lumalabag, anuman ang ranggo (We do not tolerate wrongdoing. We continue to hold violators accountable, regardless of rank)," PNP chief Gen. Jose Melencio Nartatez Jr. said in a statement.
"This is how we rebuild trust – through real action, not just words."
The intensified internal purge follows President Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr.’s directive to restore integrity within the police force.
As part of the crackdown, the PNP’s Internal Affairs Service (IAS) has strengthened its investigative and accountability mechanisms in support of a zero-tolerance policy against erring personnel.
The IAS said it is enhancing its operations through stricter case monitoring, sustained motu proprio investigations, and reinforced case build-up to ensure administrative cases are resolved promptly, fairly, and in accordance with due process.
IAS Inspector General Brigido Dulay underscored the importance of consistent accountability across all ranks.
"The Internal Affairs Service fully supports the Chief PNP’s zero-tolerance policy. Our responsibility is to ensure that accountability is enforced consistently across all levels," Dulay said in a separate statement.
The IAS is also preparing for the nationwide rollout of its “Integrity Caravan,” a structured program aimed at reinforcing ethical policing and accountability across all PNP units.
The initiative will feature a 6-Point Ethical Policing Guide outlining standards on discipline, accountability, professionalism, transparency, respect for human rights, and commitment to public service.
"At the same time, we are preparing for the rollout of the Integrity Caravan to ensure that every police officer clearly understands the standards expected of them and the accountability that comes with them," Dulay said. (PNA)
