MSEditorial A rogue cop is one too many What should we make of the recent announcement by Camp Crame, the headquarters of the Philippine National Police, that they have dismissed from the service 584 errant personnel in the short span of one year?
Is this good news or is it bad news?It’s good because the main law enforcement arm of the national government has gotten rid of hundreds of misfits who failed to live up to the mission of the PNP to serve and protect the citizenry.
The top cop cited a report from the PNP Directorate for Personnel and Records Management that of the 584 dismissed police personnel, 321 went AWOL, 42 used illegal drugs, 15 failed to attend court duty, and 20 committed violence against women. The PNP is correct in pointing out that in the over-all scheme of things, errant personnel are only a handful of the 160,000 or so cops throughout the country, and therefore not reflective of its institutional integrity.
