THE newly installed Philippine National Police (PNP) chief said he is determined to bring the police force back to the streets in the campaign against illegal drugs, not to conduct massive arrests but to save drug users through rehabilitation, recovery, wellness and reintegration while going after high-value individuals who distribute prohibited substances.
'We really want to save our [drug] users, we want to save the user [through] rehabilitation. But really, those who distribute, that's what we will target,' PNP chief Gen. Benjamin Acorda said in an interview on Friday.'The conduct of operations against high-value and street-level individuals, that's what we will count as accomplishments,' he added.
Adore is anchored on a holistic approach highlighted by reinforcement and education-based strategy, in support of the Philippine Drug Enforcement Agency and local government units and in close coordination with other law enforcement agencies, national government agencies, nongovernment organizations and other stakeholders utilizing the '8Es' implementation track of the infinity loop of the double-barrel to eradicate proliferation of illegal drugs in the community.
