BARBERS IN FULL SUPPORT OF NAPOLCOM FINDINGS ON PNP METRICS

Surigao del Norte Representative and Chairman of the Dangerous Drugs Committee expressed full support and agreement with NAPOLCOM Vice-Chair Atty. Alberto Bernardo, on the latter’s findings that the PNP system of promotion and performance rating of anti-drug police operatives is seriously flawed as it is geared towards the number of arrests and seizures, leading to staged, fake and fabricated “accomplishments”, to the detriment of innocent people who languish in jail with trumped up charges. 

“Imagine, based on these fake accompishments, the officers kept on being promoted until they are high up in the ladder and can control and influence the organization. They have become so accustomed with their illegal activities that they have become a big part of the whole drug syndicate. The promotion is just one part, the worst part is the reward, monetary as well as “saving” a huge chunk of the drug haul, as another form of rewarding themselves. This drug haul is called savings and end up being recycled back in the streets”, Barbers said.

“I wholly subscribe to the findings of the NAPOLCOM and I fully support their position. They can expect our full backing in the committee on dangerous drugs”, Barbers said.
